At breakfast one morning Mr. Goodrich learns from the morning paper that the night before the neighborhood had again been visited by burglars and thousands of dollars in money and jewelry carried away. Determined to guard his house against intrusion he writes to a private detective agency for men. His daughter Goldie is commissioned to deliver the note, but, meeting Jerry and Hank, two admirers, she suggests that they take the place of two detectives. The job, giving them an opportunity to be near their inamorata, Jerry and Hank accept. Having the freedom of the house, Hank sees how easy it is to rob it and succumbs to temptation. He dispatches a note to Bill, a rather tough customer, and instructs him to play burglar, promising to show him the way. The proceeds are to be divided fifty-fifty. Jerry learns of the plan and decides to foil it. That night Bill enters the house and is being escorted to the safe by Hank when he clumsily falls over a chair. The noise awakes Mr. Goodrich, who, armed with a rifle, starts after the conspirators. In the meantime a real burglar has entered the house. The shots meant for Bill and Hank make him seek cover and he wraps himself around with a pair of draperies. But Jerry has witnessed the act and decides to prove himself a hero. While Mr. Goodrich is telephoning for the police Jerry keeps a close watch on his quarry. When they arrive Hank and Bill have escaped, but Jerry, being an outsider, is collared as the burglar. He insists that there is a mistake and calls for Mr. Goodrich to prove it. To the rich man he explains that the burglar is hiding and points out the place. Then with a rush he captures him and turns him over to the police. Mr. Goodrich is delighted with Jerry's watchfulness and wishes to reward him. Jerry spurns money. He asks for the hand of Goldie. Mr. Goodrich gives his consent, but suggests that Jerry first consult Jack, Goldie's husband. As Jerry turns to Goldie he is amazed to see her in the arms of her husband, who has just entered. With one parting look he falls into a faint. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
