Arriving at the station of the city, he saw a mysterious foreigner who made queer signs to a peanut vendor. Hearing a newsboy call "All about the Smithson murder; murderer still at large," Eddie concluded that this was the man wanted. Edythe, an Italian girl, was held prisoner in a tenement room. Eddie followed Lee to his home and witnessed a fight between him and his wife. She finally hurled a knife dripping with blood at her husband; it landed at Eddie's feet. She had only been cutting up a chicken, but Eddie did not know that. Eddie picked up a note dropped by Edythe, which read, "Save me." Then he saw Lee dash in, grab Edythe and throw her back into the room. Soon after, he watched the pursuit of Edythe and Pietro by Lee and two of his men, over houses, down trap-doors, fire-escapes and chimneys. Finally the girl and Pietro were caught. Eddie heard Pietro say, "I will not sign unless you give me the girl." The detective read in his book that one whistle was for 5 cops and six whistles for one. Five policemen dropped in beside him, and broke into the room. The cops grabbed Lee, but he told them to read the agreement about which he a Pietro were arguing. It said, "I agree to shorten the length of macaroni one inch if I can have your daughter in marriage. Signed, Pietro Giuseppe." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
