Helen discovers that the supposed robber closely resembles a chap with whom she had carried on a flirtation at the seashore. So Helen, with one of the reporters, Dick Bayless, returns to the beach city. Helen points out her acquaintance, John Howard, to Bayless. He moves a few feet from her and lies down on the sand. According to their plan Helen stealthily makes her way to Bayless' side and lifts his watch. Howard sees this and falls into her trap by offering to put her next to bigger game. She gets an opportunity of telling Bayless what has happened, Howard introduces her to his gang and they plot to rob a certain manufacturing establishment. Making an excuse to leave them, she phones Bayless, and he, with some policemen, follows. The crooks are taken into custody just after they have opened the safe and started away with the loot. Helen receives the praise of her staff as well as the reward offered for the apprehension of the thief. We are left to assume that she gets a husband into the bargain, in the person of Bayless.
