To discredit her with her boss they send her on a "fake" murder story which never happened, hoping thus to get her off the staff. She goes to the place, finds she has been tricked, but falls across a scoop in which she recognizes twice as big a story as the murder would have been. This puts the laugh on the reporters who then have to accept her. A big story which has to do with counterfeit money passed by an Italian has just broken. No clue, however, to the source of the supply of false coin can be found. Bella chances to buy a melon at an Italian fruit stand, and on opening it, finds it full of counterfeit money. She sees instantly that this is the channel through which the counterfeiters and their confederates make connections. Dressing up as an Italian girl, she goes to the fruit dealer, and passing herself off as the daughter of a friend of his who is about to open a store, she learns from him where they can buy melons. Going to the truck farm named, she is suspected as a spy and made captive. She manages to discover the money molds, however, and to float a message down the irrigation canal to Connors, the secret service man, and his posse, whom she has stationed there. The counterfeiters are caught, Bella lands the biggest sensation of the year, also the secret service man and she come to a happy understanding. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
