Madison, in his hurry to keep an appointment, leaves the sketch on the table, with only the office boy, Billy, in charge. He is unable to get Billy on the telephone. Billy, noticing that the boss forgot the sketch, hides it behind the paper on the wall, after the paper hangers have quit for the day. Just then McCrank and Clayton appear and demand the sketch. Although the office boy says he does not know where it is the men disbelieve him and lock him in the vault. At this moment Madison appears, goes to the vault, finds Billy, who explains all, and the plotters are placed in the hands of the law. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
