Plot As described in a film magazine, "Opened good, in spite of influenza epidemic. Run cut off by closing order. — Mark Gates, Dayton Theatre, Dayton, O." Peck's girl Minnie gets into so much mischief that the wiseacres of the town decide that she needs to be put to some useful occupation. A kindly lady takes her under her care and she soon becomes a more or less valuable assistant to a modiste's show. Returning to the store one evening to get a package, she comes across some sneak thieves who are burrowing beneath the bank. She spreads the alarm, captures one of the crooks, and wins the heart of a detective sent to apprehend the criminals.
