Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Roberta Winthrop and her father are at their country residence when Mr. Winthrop decides to advertise for a secretary. A gang of crooks see the advertisement, know Winthrop has money, and determine to take advantage of the opening. One of the gang is detailed to apply for the position, and Winthrop appoints him secretary. But he falls in love with Roberta, and he puts off the robbery until a sharp letter from the gang reminds him that he had better get busy. That afternoon Mr. Winthrop goes to the country club, and the crook robs the safe. He is surprised by the housekeeper. He locks her in a closet and makes his escape from the house. Roberta has gone to her favorite spot, the top of a cliff. From this lookout she espies him hurrying to town. He hears her calling him and looks up in time to see her lose her balance and fall from the cliff. Forgetting his original purpose, he picks her up and carries her home, releases the housekeeper, and runs for a doctor. During his absence the housekeeper finds the wallet containing the money he has stolen and replaces the money in the safe. Roberta recovers, and the crook, regenerated by love, is accepted as her lover.
