Jack is a reporter and in his leisure follows his detective bent in assisting the capture of criminals. Lee has been on the force on probation for some time, but at last he gets an assignment. He immediately decides to call on the cook and exhibit his new "feathers." The cook tells him that he cannot come into the kitchen in his uniform coat and makes him leave it outside. Jack, coming along, sees the coat and resolves to use it for a while. He puts it on and later sees a thief trying to rob a girl. He rushes to her and succeeds in capturing the thief, but Billie, the girl, does not recognize him in his disguise and only sees the badge number 13. She reports to her father how Officer 13 has saved her from being robbed. Jack returns the coat where he found it and Lee, coming out, never knew it was gone. He puts it on, and on returning to the office is overwhelmed with praise and presented with a medal. The next day he returns cooks to the and leaving his coat outside, composes himself for a pleasant visit. Two crooks happen along, and seeing the coat, one of them dons it, and breaking into a house proceeds to plunder it. The house is Billie's home. She discovers the thief; she calls for help and struggles with the burglar. In the melee she snatches off the badge and the burglar escapes. He returns the officer's coat and puts his own on. Jack happens to be near the house and sees the burglar escape with his plunder and join his confederate. He follows them and just as they are separating their loot, captures them and takes them to the station. Billie tells her father she has been robbed by Officer 13 and that she has the badge to show for it. Lee has left his friend, the cook, and not noticing the loss of his badge, returns to the station. He is accused of the burglary and his missing badge is pointed out. Billie comes in with the badge and Lee is about to be given the extreme penalty when Jack brings in his prisoners, telling them of his capture. Billie's father is unable to object to such a bright young man and gives his blessing to the children. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
