So of course it was up to them to become heroes. Their first stunt was to rescue Mildred's little dog form being run over by an automobile. But she told them that the man she would marry must save a human life. Next day Jack was out walking. While passing a building he heard a wild cry for help. Jack dashed into the building and saw a young girl being strangled by a man. Bravely and fearlessly he leaped upon the villain. A moment later he was leaped upon by a crowd of angry people, for he had interrupted the taking of a moving picture. After he had been thrown out he was considerably disheartened with the hero business. Then he thought of a scheme whereby he could do a noble deed without any harm to himself. He hired a tramp to waylay Mildred as if meaning to steal her money and jewels. At the right moment Jack was to appear on the scene and rescue her. The plan worked out all right except that Jack was delayed in doing the rescue stunt. Walter, by a lucky change, happened to be there and heard Mildred's cry for help. He certainly did handle that tramp without gloves. He nearly killed the poor fellow. Jack arrived son after and the tramp gave him a beating up that was not any make-believe. In addition Jack had the sorrow to see Mildred walking off arm in arm with the real hero, Walter. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
