The remark is overheard by a counterfeiter at a neighboring table, and he schemes to make a tool of the girl by having her discharged. In the park he offers sympathy and a job in the cleaning and dyeing establishment which is the counterfeiters' blind. At the end of the week she draws her wages. A secret service agent secures a spurious coin just after she has passed it and follows her. Taking a suit of clothes as an excuse, he returns to the fake dyeing establishment. He has been seen trailing the girl and is at once seized and bound in an empty room. The girl, having discovered the counterfeiting plant, is locked in another room. She hears the malefactors plotting to turn on the gas and kill the secret service man, and foils them. By starting a false alarm of fire she effects her escape and frees the prisoner, but they are recaptured. At this moment, however, the agent's comrades, posted in advance, arrive and capture the gang after a sensational fight, in which the agent once more displays his prowess. Written by
