Ford and Ransom, a couple of crooks, rob a store and among the things taken are a quantity of stamped envelopes with the name and address of the firm printed thereon. Helen, of the "Herald," tries to ferret out the robbery, but is unsuccessful, until one day Ford writes a letter and gives it to a passing little girl to mail, first scratching out the name on the stamped envelope. Helen bumps into the little girl, knocking the letter to the ground. Picking it up for her, Helen notes the scratched-out name and address, and follows the child to the crook's shack. There she discovers part of the loot, but is captured and tied up by one of them. Leaving her securely tied, Ford goes downtown to meet his pal, and on a streetcar they plan their getaway. Ford gives Ransom the address of the shack, and the hiding place of the loot, and writes it on a transfer slip, to be sure he doesn't forget it. Getting off the car at the transfer point, he drops the transfer and Jim hurriedly picks it up and gets on the car. The conductor is talking to Fields, a detective, also working on the case, and shows the transfer with its message to Fields. The latter, reading the message on it, leads a run to the rendezvous, rescues Helen and captures the crooks and the loot. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
