While Hill is in Burgess' bank, he spies Nellie Murdock, who wears a red feather in her cap. He tells Burgess that Nellie is the daughter of Julius Murdock, an ex-convict. Young Drake is Nellie's sweetheart, who has just been released from penal servitude. Burgess receives a letter from a friend asking him to help Drake and his sweetheart, Nellie, to be married and leave the country. Burgess, that evening repairs to the home of Julius Murdock, the ex-convict, where he is to meet Nellie. When he enters the house, it is surrounded by police. Burgess, Nellie, and a young man, whom Burgess believes to be Drake, escape the house and Burgess is instrumental in providing for the escape of the young man from the police. After risking his life, Burgess is informed by Nellie that the man he aided to escape, was Bob Murdock, her step-brother, wanted by the police as a counterfeiter. Nellie then tells Burgess that Drake, her sweetheart is waiting at a designated spot. Burgess finds the young man, and the three repair to his home where Bishop Gladding marries Drake and Nellie. The next morning, Hill, the detective, again calls on Webster G. Burgess. He tells Burgess of the police chase of the night before and Burgess says languidly that he is not interested in news of criminal escapades. Hill then gives to Burgess a silver card-case, saying. "I think this case must belong to you, although I found it near the home of the ex-convict." Then a glance of mutual understanding is exchanged between the two men, and Hill, the detective with a heart, leaves the bank. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
