Synopsis
Two thieves, "Cat" Carter and "Loot" Follett, locate themselves in the unused part of the home of Aunt Mehitabel and her niece Dorcas. Loan shark Jonathan Squoggs presses Mehitabel for payment of the mortgage, and the two crooks decide to help the ladies when they consult their Ouija board to find a buried treasure. After capturing an intruder who turns out to be Squoggs, the two "detectives" reform and Follett marries Dorcas.
