Synopsis

Cartoonist James Montgomery Flagg draws the character of Kitty Cobb as actress Marian Swayne poses. As the story begins, Kitty Cobb, a young girl from Long Island, listens to exciting stories about New York City from young inventor Bob Caldecott, with whom she is secretly in love. One day, while walking near Fort Schuyler, Kitty sees some suspicious-looking men who follow her home. The men threaten her, but Bob comes to her rescue and tells her that they are spies. Soon, Kitty goes to New York where she has a hard time until she gets a job as an usherette in a theater, where Bob sees her and offers her a job as his mother's secretary. One day, Kitty overhears Count Pulaski, Bob's sister Rose's fiancé, plotting to steal Bob's plans for a defense device for the U.S. government and she recognizes him as one of the spies. She foils his plans, but Pulaski abducts her. Bob rescues her again, and the young lovers decide to marry.
