- John Watts has a hard time making ends meet with his modest salary, for his wife, Mary, has been an invalid for many months and his child, Annie, needs clothes badly. In the department store where John works there is a long list of missing articles, and finally a detective is called. Things continue to disappear. The detective begins to suspect John and watches him closely. Annie has become a friend of Lolo, the little daughter of a wealthy judge. Lolo presents her with a doll and wraps it in the paper which has just arrived from the department store. Tucker, the driver of the delivery wagon, placed a parcel on the seat of the wagon and in turning a corner it rolls off into the gutter. He reports it as a missing article. Annie is talking to her friend, the policeman, and both notice the package. He tells her to keep the shoes that are in the parcel, as the address has been washed away. John has to be at work unusually early one morning and tells Mary to send Annie with his lunch. The child is delighted, and wraps it in the paper in which the doll was wrapped. The detective is at the desk and offers to take care of Annie's package for her father. He notices the new shoes which the child wears and recognizes them. Then, seeing the paper, with the address of Judge Andrews plainly written on the outside, in which the lunch is rolled, he concludes that he has found the thief. John is arrested and put in a cell. The evidence seems to be absolutely against him, but finally Annie is called as a witness and tells about the doll and the shoes. Judge Andrews has charge of the case and the court is adjourned until Lolo and the policeman can be brought as witnesses. After their testimony, which corroborates Annie's, the case is dismissed and the manager and superintendent of the department store hasten to congratulate John and to show their pleasure in his release. They tell him the firm has not appreciated him but they will try to make amends. The driver turns out to be the thief.—Moving Picture World synopsis
