Much Obliged (1917)

A burglar, in order to have free rein in robbing the apartment of Wayne Chisholm, a newspaper reporter, sends him an anonymous note directing him to be at a certain corner at midnight, if he seeks adventure. Through this medium Chisholm meets with the adventure of his life. Hilda Norwood, daughter of a millionaire, has been kidnapped the day previous. As Chisholm arrives at the designated corner, a girl's side-comb falls at his feet. It bears a note from Miss Norwood announcing that she is a prisoner in the building above him, and pleading for aid. After a series of experiences, including a desperate battle with Hilda's captors, Wayne succeeds in rescuing her and registering not only a scoop for his paper, out of her own gratitude. This more than compensated the reporter for what the burglar got.
