A bright young girl reporter is assigned by one of the newspapers, to learn from the count what he thinks of the city and its inhabitants. She calls at his hotel, and is graciously received. Her visit is paid very shortly after the nobleman arrives, and while they are talking, one of the hotel porters enters with a trunk belonging to the count. When he sees the owner, he drops it with agitation, and there is mutual recognition. The reporter learns that the porter was formerly a servant of the count in Italy, but had been discharged for dishonesty. She is suspicions of the man, and is convinced that he means to harm his former employer; she warns the count, but he laughs at her fears. When the porter is discharged, she follows him from the hotel. She sees him enter an Italian restaurant in the poorer section of the city. Disguised as an Italian dancing girl, she enters the place, and finds the former porter, slightly intoxicated and in a garrulous mood. He gladly tells her his troubles, and boastfully declares that he will get even. He means to blow up the count with a bomb while he is seated on the grandstand during the parade, and is indifferent as to whether any other persons are injured or not. She goes to police headquarters and tells her story. The girl is stationed on the roof of a low building near the grand stand. It has been arranged that when she locates the man she will give a signal, and indicate the criminal. Her efforts arc crowned with success. The half-crazy foreigner is neatly captured, and taken away by the police. Later they bring him before the count for identification, and the story of the girl's heroism comes out, and the count and his friends realize what she has done for them. The count takes from his coat a decoration that has been awarded him by his king for bravery, and pins it on the girl's breast. The others applaud and drink the young woman's health. And the girl? Well, she has a "dandy story" to tell the crowd in the "city room" when she returns to her office. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
