Signor Bingbinger, a ventriloquist, takes an apartment with her and his Italian ardor wins her love. About this time some girls in the neighborhood cut out some black hands from a hat box and determine to have some fun, as a black hand scare is rife. They place these black hands on doors and windows in the neighborhood. The friends notify the police and a detective is put on the trail. The ventriloquist practices with a female dummy and the landlady becomes jealous and tells him to go. She looks through the keyhole and finds her lover beating a supposed woman, whom he knocks out. A drunk with a pushcart meanwhile falls into a can of red paint which a man has used on the fire boxes. In staggering on down the street he leans a red hand against the white walls. The landlady, hearing cries of murder, looks through the keyhole and sees murder and rushes for the police. The drunk leaves a blood red hand on her porch. The detectives trails the crimson hands. The ventriloquist decides to leave, and tips over a bottle of red ink. The landlady returns, and finds the bloody hand. The detective arrives with the police and they descend upon the room of the ventriloquist. He has mounted his trunk on the drunk's cart; sees the crowd coming and runs. The drunk, thinking he has stolen the cart, gives chase, and they finally overtake the ventriloquist. The drunk breaks open the trunk and the landlady falls into the arms of the ventriloquist as the drunk embraces the female dummy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
