Through an item in one of the newspapers, the two discover that Haggard, one of their patients, is a notorious counterfeiter. A reward is offered for the man's capture. Keefe, one of Haggard's confederates, overhears Betty and Andrews planning the criminal's capture. The man enters Haggard's room and gives the alarm. The two escape by leaping out of the window, and dashing away in Keefe's auto. Betty, Andrews and a policeman enter the room in time to see the criminals disappearing down the road. A letter dropped by the fleeing counterfeiters betrays their destination. Ordering the policeman to summon help, Betty and Andrews take up the pursuit in the doctor's machine. The lovers succeed in finding the counterfeiters rendezvous, but their attempt to enter the house is discovered and they are captured. Betty is taken into the room used as a laboratory by Haggard, while Andrews is thrown, bound and ragged, on the kitchen floor. By a clever ruse, Betty drugs Haggard. Taking his pistol and donning his duster, the girl enters the room where Keefe and a henchman are standing guard over her sweetheart. The criminals are taken aback when Betty confronts them with an automatic pistol. Keefe, however, distracts the girl's attention. A moment later, both counterfeiters leap upon Betty and disarm her. The men are about to do away with the lovers when the police arrive. Breaking down the door, the officers engage in a hot battle with the criminals, and succeed in placing them under arrest.
