After the disappointed applicants slouch off, Harold has a clear field and lands the job with ease. He had just used a little strategy in getting a position. Seeing that he had too much competition, he made a noise like the boss and told the others to seek elsewhere for employment. Mr. Doe, the dapper chief clerk, gambles away a sum of money which he is unable to repay. Susie, his stenographer and personal friend, agrees to help him out. Their plans are overheard by Harold, who decides to do a little Sherlock Holmes "stuff." After helping herself to one of the pay envelopes and hiding it where her friend can get it, Susie fakes sickness and is sent home. As they escort her out, Gumshoe Harold grasps the opportunity to replace the envelope with another containing blank paper. Doe uses this to pay his debt, then reports the loss to the boss and tries to cast suspicion on Harold. The latter reveals the plot and returns the salary to his employer. The gambler then enters and registers a full-sized kick against the dishonest office assistant for paying his debt with blank paper. This proves Harold's testimony and the clerk is fired. Harold is now chief clerk. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
