Synopsis

To compensate for not learning of her illegitimate birth until she turned nineteen, The Kid decides to become a reporter and reveal the truth about all of the city's political scandals. First, she goes after the beef trust, and finds out that Mr. Robinson is responsible for skyrocketing prices. Then, when Mrs. Robinson is killed, The Kid works to expose Mr. Robinson not only as a profiteer, but a murderer as well. While researching the case, however, she discovers that Mr. Robinson, who used to call himself Dunster, is her own father, and had abandoned her just after her birth and just before her mother's death. As a result, The Kid begs authorities not to punish him, and they finally agree to let him go. The Kid herself, however, cannot completely forgive Mr. Robinson, and when he asks to be treated as her father, she returns instead to Joe Hazard, who raised her from infancy.
