A crook kidnaps the old miser's only child and demands a heavy ransom. To outwit the crook, Dr. Farley pretends to secure the ransom without his employer's knowledge. While the two are at the safe, Farley carelessly drops his fountain pen point (which he had previously dipped in a phial containing a culture of Bubonic germs) onto the crook's hand. The doctor then tells the crook he is inoculated with the deadly germs, reduces him to abject fear, and calls the police. Safely handcuffed, the crook is smilingly told that the germs have previously been rendered harmless by Dr. Farley's Plague Cure. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
