"The Flea" comes to rob her, bringing his accomplice, the ape. Betty has just time to call her fiancé, when she is locked in a cupboard with the ape. Duffer arrives and fights "The Flea." He fires, but the crook is wearing a bullet-proof vest. Duffer handcuffs him, but the ape unlocks the bracelets. Betty yells for help and Duffer finds her. The men fight again, and "The Flea" escapes up the chimney, where there wages a battle with bricks. The ape goes up the chimney after Duffer, who hangs on to two bricks. They finally pull out and prove to be the sold bricks of which Betty's inheritance consist. They bless the ape as their friend. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
