The library of a modern home is shown, husband, wife and child each occupied in their particular diversions. The maid is called in, who dresses the child in street garments, and the two leave the house for a stroll. Entering the park, they walk through the lanes and avenues, the little girl running ahead and skipping the rope. Finding a vacant bench, the maid takes possession and presently dozes off. The little girl playfully runs away and accidentally comes upon the scene of a "holdup," whereupon, unobserved by the footpads, she ties her rope across the passageway through which the robbers must of necessity flee. As anticipated, the robbers, in attempting to escape, trip over the rope and become entangled. In the meantime, our young heroine runs out on the public thoroughfare and gives the alarm, to which two officers respond, whom she leads to the spot, where they capture the "hold-up" men. Our little girl runs farther on, and coming to the brink of the river, observes a blind man who is about to attempt to cross an open draw of a bridge. Through herculean efforts she manipulates the mechanism of the bridge just in the nick of time, thereby saving the life of a poor blind man. The next scene shows three intoxicated men staggering down a street, oblivious to all danger. A train of cars is about to cross the street Our heroine, noticing the deathtrap into which the intoxicated men are about to stagger, runs ahead and closes the gate, thereby impeding their progress and consequently saving them, from injury and possible death. The nurse, upon waking, discovers that her charge is gone, and scurries away in search of the little girl; not finding her, she returns home and reports to the frantic parents that their child is lost. The little girl now rambles on aimlessly, and discovering her plight, tells a passing police officer that she is lost, whereupon she is brought to the headquarters, where she gives her name and address, with which information they soon notify her parents by telephone and dispatch an officer home with her. Arriving home, she is received joyously, and the scene closes, showing the little girl comically scolding the maid for her carelessness, then followed by forgiveness and embraces.
