Synopsis
After the attempted theft of the Rigo jewels from the mansion of wealthy Helen Van Dyke, a socialite engaged to Prince Rigo, Jack Darwin, a cub reporter of the Star, determines to obtain a picture of Miss Van Dyke, who has never been photographed. Jack goes to the mansion and there snaps a shot of a young woman in a wedding gown, but, after the photograph has been featured in a special edition, the city editor discovers that it is merely a picture of Ethel Bennet, a maid employed by Miss Van Dyke. Fired, Jack visits an employment agency, where he meets Ethel, who also has lost her job. Together they return to the Van Dyke mansion, hoping to get an exclusive that will win him back his job. They separate, and Jack witnesses a robbery and kidnaping; after a wild car chase, he subdues both of the malefactors. The kidnaped woman--Ethel--informs him that she is an undercover agent for the police, assigned to protect the Rigo jewels. Jack files the story, gets his job back, and marries Ethel.
