The son of one of these two citizens is a newspaper reporter, who obtains the permission of bis editor to accompany and assist tho detective engaged b\ the citizens' committee to run the criminals to earth. The reporter docs not tell his father of bis intentions to track the gang. He and the detectives have a thrilling brush with the gang, and they pursue the leader in a motor-car while he (lies in another car to the reporters' home. Complications ensue and there is a mass of exciting incidents round which are woven a charming little love story.
