He congratulates the police official for the capture of the head of a band of crooks. Sterling's son, Bobbie Vernon, has been engaged to Juanita Hansen, the daughter of Woodward. Bobbie returns from college, but his sissified ways disgust Mayor Woodward and he withdraws his consent to the wedding. With the assistance of an accomplice, the chief crook escapes from jail and starts to shoot up the Mayor's office. While Woodward is hiding in the closet, Sterling has sought safety on top of some hot water pipes. The heat makes him let go his hold and he falls on the crook, knocking him unconscious. Then Ford shouts to the Mayor to come out of hiding, claiming that he has single-handedly captured the dangerous character. Bobbie, the Chief's son, is lured into the cell, where the chief crook has been confined. Making a quick exchange of costume, the crook escapes and leaves Bobbie behind. He is found by the Mayor and the Chief, who are enraged at his stupidity in being bested by the crook. Bobby leads the way to the crook's den, where the girl has been kidnapped. Sterling and Woodward are both disguised as the chief crook, and they get into funny mix-ups, shooting at each other by mistake. Juanita Hansen, the Mayor's daughter, escapes from the room, where she has been confined, to the roof. With a ladder, Bobbie comes to the rescue of the girl. After some hairbreadth escapes from one building to another they reach the Mayor's apartments. Sterling is captured by the crooks and is forced by them to take a bomb to the Mayor's house for the purpose of blowing it up. Just before the building is blown up Woodward, Sterling and Bobbie escape. Then the Mayor remembers that he locked Juanita in her room. A brave rescue by Bobbie follows and the Mayor gives her hand to the young hero. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
