That evening highwaymen rob Smith of his last 30 cents and the manuscript. The following day the editor writes his stenographer has erred in returning the story; that he will pay the author ten cents a word for it. Smith borrows $50 from his friends, and, offering it as a reward through an advertisement induces the robbers to return his script. Then the editor finds his stenographer has erred again, and that Smith's story, after all, was not available. So many mistakes bring about a meeting between Smith and Perth Barlow, the typist. She discovers Smith has written other manuscripts which are available and puts him on the road to fame. Wedding bells ring out for Smith and Perth. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
