The two friends conspire with an actress, Loretta Blair, to give Morris an adventure. The girl goes to his rooms at the hotel, representing herself to be a Russian woman seeking to evade the secret police of her country. She implores his aid. Graves and Belden, disguised as Russians, enter the apartment and bind and gag Morris and Loretta. They then take their victims to a deserted house and, after locking them in, depart, satisfied, to their club. A tramp accidentally sets fire to the house, and when Belden and Graves return to release their prisoners they find the building in flames. They try frantically to break in through the fire lines, believing that they are the murderers of Morris and Loretta. Then, through the smoke, they see the supposed victims coming toward them. Morris tells the conspirators about their narrow escape and that they have been watching the fire from a distance. And then Belden and Graves are forgiven their serious little joke, because Morris has found his romance at last right in New York. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
