It is supposed that they have been completely dispersed, but one dark night the Marysville bank vault is looted of an enormous sum in currency and the burglars escape. In the darkness three men, Phillip Elliott, mayor of a neighboring town. Ed Stanley and "Bull" Ames enter the Marysville hotel by way of the fire escape and divide the bank loot. All are well known and no suspicion is attached to them. The local police find themselves unable to solve the mystery. Secret Service agents are called in and proceed cleverly to trace various clues. Stanley, who is a morphine fiend, is traced through a $1,000 bill, and the two other burglars are finally rounded up by the Secret Service agents. Stanley escapes the penalty of the law by accidentally taking an overdose of morphine. A former member of the old "X" gang revenges himself for past treachery upon Elliott and Ames by identifying them as the remains of that famous band of burglars, the "X" gang. They go to prison for long terms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
