The Girl Detective (1916)
Norman Kirkland is paymaster of a large mining company, and Otto Taylor is his assistant. On payday temptation comes to the assistant, and his temptation is too great to be overcome. Taylor abstracts money, and then to avoid what seems to be certain detection, puts the money in the wrong coat, and accuses Kirkland of theft. Taken to police headquarters, Kirkland is searched and the money is found on his person. Rhoda Davis, a detective, believing that all is not as it should be, asks to be assigned to the case. She secures the handkerchief in which the money had been wrapped, and visits several laundries in an endeavor to confirm her theory. Finally she finds the laundry mark which shows the name of Otto Taylor, and the handkerchief is identified as his. Thus is the real criminal made to confess his crime.
