He decides to blow his brains out and end his misery. He raises his trusty revolver to his temple. At the critical moment his eye falls upon a newspaper and he reads that a great reward is offered for rounding up of a band of kidnappers. Forthwith he forgets his dark project and goes in search of an honorable kidnapping friend. He proposes to his friend that he kidnap a young woman then he, Kelly the detective, will work on the case, discover the woman and split the reward money with the kidnapper. The crook agrees. He steals Bess, the daughter of a wealthy banker. He ties her hand and foot in a barn, sets his infernal machine to explode at twelve and notifies the girl's father that if two hundred dollars is not forthcoming, his daughter will be blown to a Kingdom Come. The hysterical father employs Kelley to ferret the mystery. Kelley makes for the old barn where the girl is hidden. The gunpowder is sizzling. The intrepid Kelley fights his way into the death trap and saves the girl. The grateful father hands him the reward. But the kidnapper is watching from a distance. He cannot wait for the division of the spoils. He runs up and demands his share. The girl identifies the crook as her abductor and the brave Kelley and the trustworthy kidnapper are led away to jail.
