He has an idea born of seeing a lady advertising curl papers in a drugstore window. At this time both Ted and Flo receive invitations to a weekend at a country inn. Ted persuades Flo to place a century note in each of her curl papers on retiring that night, when he will enter her room and commit a fake burglary. The guests will rush in too late to capture the fleeing thief, but will learn all about the famous actress who sleeps with $100-bills in her hair. Everything runs smoothly until Ted reaches the ground after taking the papers. Here the town constable, lying in wait for repeated chicken thieves, pounces upon him and, in the fracas, manages to wrest away Ted's watch fob as that excited young man breaks for the woods. Meanwhile, the real chicken thief has made his escape after severely wounding the constable's deputy. Detectives are on the job immediately and it becomes altogether too warm for Ted, who is saved from arrest at the last moment by the apprehension of the real culprit. Incidentally, the advertising pays, the public flocks to see Flo and her company, and out of gratitude, Flo marries her resourceful leading man. Written by
