The editor offers to make the first reporter who brings in the details of the robbery and recovers the pearls, an editor, Baby Peggy, as the boss' stenographer, hears this and decides to be the one. She procures some male attire and a false mustache. Leaving the office, she sees two of the regulars just going off in a flivver. She jumps in the rear seat, unnoticed and by punching first one and then the other leads them to believe that the other is getting too fresh. They have words and finally get out to settle the matter, fistically. Our heroine seizes the opportunity and drives away in the car while the men are fighting. She arrives at the home of the society woman and questions the butler. His actions convince her that she is on the right track and after being thrown out several times she reenters in a new phonograph cabinet being delivered. While in the cabinet she gets the goods on the butler and rushes with her story and the pearls to the office where she is made editor and has them all jumping at her command.
