So they make the rounds of the big "Dailies" looking for the reporter's cinch. Two of the "Star's" star reporters are missing, and Mutt and Jeff arrive at the psychological moment, which means they connect. Jeff is assigned to do the society and theatrical stunt, while .Mutt, who is brave and game, is to mingle with low-browed chaps and unearth the foul doings of the denizens of the underworld. The former meets with unqualified success, making a decided hit with dames of high degree and dramatic and operatic stars of great renown. When he turns in his report, a dandy scoop, the "Start" engages the little fellow at an enormous salary, and Jeff, conscious of his immense worth, automobiles away with one of the swellest members of the gentle sex. In the meantime, Mutt has not been idle. He gets on the scent. Ah! a suspiciously dark cellar crowded with a suspicious looking bunch of dark, scowling men, criminals to be sure! Mutt breaks in upon them, and they, cab drivers holding a meeting, fall upon the "thin guy" and pummel the daylights out of him. Black and blue, beaten almost beyond recognition, but proud for having uncovered a band of criminals, Mutt manages to make his report, which earns the disapproval of the "Star" and he gets "fired" with neatness, dispatch and footwork. There, out in the bustling street, poor Mutt sees with envious eyes the fast disappearing auto bearing away the smiling Jeff and his lady friend. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
