There Wharton disappears. Unable to find him, Denton secures the assistance of Netty and Lesan and returns to the scene. While the men are poking about in the rubbish, a short distance away, Netty overturns a box and discovers an empty well. An instant later, Wharton emerges from the well and makes the girl captive. Compelled to follow the criminal, Netty finds that a passage at the bottom of the well connects the latter with the chimney of a deserted house. A ladder runs up this chimney. Upon reaching the fourth floor, Wharton opens a secret door which leads into his gang's den. In the meantime, Lesan and Denton, searching for Netty, discover the well. While Lesan investigates, Denton goes for help. The gang discovers Lesan 's presence in the chimney. Ignorant of the secret door, the detective climbs to the roof. There he is beset by the moonshiners who leave him unconscious. Lesan, however, presently learns of the secret door. His effort to enter the room leads to his capture. He eventually makes his escape and is joined outside the building by Denton and a squad of policemen. When the latter attempt to enter the room and rescue Netty, they find that the criminals have tied a rope around the girl and have suspended her from the window. Question threatens to cut this rope should the officers enter the room. Lesan, however, saves Netty's life by a daring ruse. The officers and moonshiners engage in a terrific battle, which ends with the capture of the criminals. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
