He ponders, and a great idea arrives. He takes Green, his lieutenant to his home; they dress in female attire, provide themselves with hand bags and sally forth to await the visit of the purse snatchers. Two new cops, Mike and Tony, are pacing their respective beats when the chief and lieutenant arrive. Hogan, the purse snatcher, pounces on the hand bags of the two "ladies" and is off, but when the "ladies" try to give chase in fashionable dresses, the result is deplorable. They yell for Mike, who enlists the aid of Tony, and they make a grand sprint after the thief. The purse snatcher with the two bags in his hands, runs into Mrs. Miles, who is returning from a meeting with a party of friends. She grabs the villain and she and her friends hold him until Mrs. Miles recognizes her gowns on the strangers and tells Mike, who promptly fells them both with his club. It is not until they are bundled off to the station and their hats and veils removed that their identity is discovered. The situation requires some explanation from the chief, but he feels so good over the capture of Hogan that he promises his wife some new gowns to replace those destroyed in the adventure.
