- Bobbie, after considerable effort, secures a job on the reportorial staff of a big daily, and waits patiently for an assignment. The chief of detectives, who has heard that "Dago" Frank, a noted criminal, is in the city, sends two of his best operatives on the trail. The city editor, learning of the coming of Mme. Bordica, an opera singer, traveling incognito, assigns the tremulous Bobbie to see her, and instructs him under no circumstances to come back without an interview. The famous song-bird has received considerable additions for her wardrobe, including a number of wigs, and having examined them in her apartments, goes out for a stroll. In the interim, the detectives hot-foot after "Dago" Frank, run him into the hotel in which Bordica is stopping, and there lose the scent. The criminal, by capricious chance, ducks into the room of the singer, and observing the wigs and gowns strewn about, promptly proceeds to disguise himself in feminine finery. The industrious Bobbie, having ascertained the room number of Mme. Bordica, and fearing a turndown by telephone, boldly goes up, knocks, and then waits patiently for an answer, until "Dago" Frank emerges, thoroughly disguised for further travel. Bobbie immediately gives chase, notebook in hand, but the pursued one will not linger. Bobbie, not to be outdone, chases him down the fire escape and through the town, right past the two disgruntled and disappointed detectives, and into a park. The crook, having a short lead, climbs into a tree and endeavors to hide in the foliage. He cannot, however, escape the eagle eye of Bobbie, who climbs the next tree, gets out his notebook and prepares to have the desired interview. About this time the park policeman appears on the scene and orders them to terra firma. Bobbie comes down readily enough, but it takes more than moral suasion to get "Dago" Frank. The pair are carried to the police station. At the station "Dago" Frank endeavors to wreak vengeance on Bobbie, and the policeman in trying to hold him back, pulls off the wig and exposes the criminal. Bobbie not only gets an interview for a scare head on the front page of his paper, but likewise, a thousand-dollar reward for the capture of the noted criminal.—Moving Picture World synopsis
