When old man Smithers laughed at his suit, Hiram's soul was filled with a wild desire to prove the native mettle which he felt sure was in him. An attractive advertisement in a newspaper, wherein the Eagle Eye Detective Agency agreed to forward a complete detective outfit on receipt of the modest sum of four dollars, decided Hiram. One bit of advice in the textbook sent with the outfit seemed to Hiram peculiarly valuable. It was to the effect that the budding aspirant for detective glory should follow a great detective about and carefully watch the way he worked. A dark, mysterious stranger who had been lurking about the village store, admitted that he himself was a great detective and was at that time on the trail of a notorious ex-convict, "Gink the Eel," for whose apprehension a liberal reward was offered. Hiram, overjoyed, immediately began to dog the stranger's footsteps. One day, the stranger set off on a brisk walk across country, while Hiram, as usual, followed him at a distance. In a clearing of the woods, the stranger met a short, ugly man, and spoke to him hurriedly. Immediately afterward the two men turned their coats inside-out and tied their handkerchiefs about the lower halves of their faces. Hiram, in the shadow of the trees, instantly followed suit. The stranger and the other man lay quietly beside the road until old man Smithers appeared, driving over to the bank in his buggy to make his monthly deposit. The men jumped out and forced him to descend from the wagon. At this moment an original and interesting idea occurred to Hiram. Stepping gently from the bushes he tapped the two men lightly on the head with a blackjack. Then he drove back with old man Smithers to receive the plaudits of the multitude for his daring capture of "Gink the Eel." He got Susie, too. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
