Disguised in boy's clothes, the girl sleuth enters a notorious dive, where she excites the admiration of Hogan and Donegal, leaders of a band of crooks, by the manner in which she picks Warrington's pocket. The crooks take a fancy to the "boy." Hogan introduces her to the rest of the gang. The Girl Detective thus learns that a schooner lying at one of the docks is to be boarded and part of the cargo stolen. After sending word to the police, the brave girl accompanies the band. The officers arrive while the gang is at work. The thieves entrap the police in the hold and make their escape. A moment's carelessness, however, results in the discovery of the girl sleuth's identity. The crooks carry her to their rendezvous. Knowing that the police will be on their trail at any moment, the crooks prepare to flee. Donegal plans to punish the Girl Detective for her treachery. Tying her to a chair, the scoundrel lights a fuse and places it in a can of gunpowder. This he stands beneath the chair. Hogan attempts to interfere but proves no match for Donegal. In the meantime, the police have been liberated. They trace the crooks to the den. A wild encounter ensues. Hogan is the first to be subdued. He informs Warrington of the Girl Detective's terrible peril. Dashing into the den, Warrington seizes the powder and hurls it outside. An instant later a terrific explosion testified to the girl's narrow escape. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
