The Kidnapped Stockbroker (1915)

Stockbroker, strangely missing, is found through clever girl's daring and young reporter's investigations. James MacLaren, wealthy stockbroker, mysteriously disappears after he has threatened Oldham, his partner, for misuse of the firm's money. The New York Trumpet puts Alan Hyde, a reporter, on the case, with orders to make good. Eileen MacLaren, the stockbroker's daughter, is a friend of Alan's, and through a clue furnished by her he locates the missing man in a Haunted House, but is himself nabbed by the crooks, acting under orders from Oldham, and locked in an upper room. Eileen brings help, but the crooks have escaped with the stockbroker. After a thrilling pursuit in autos and motorboats, the crooks are captured and father and daughter reunited. On their return the Haunted House is found blazing furiously, and Alan's rescue is effected with much difficulty. But he has made good and the city editor doesn't hesitate to tell him so. Oldham is arrested, and as MacLaren looks smilingly on, Alan takes Eileen in his arms, while she whispers, "And I think you've made good."
