Rudolfo, Crown Prince of the tiny kingdom, comes to America to locate the Brotherhood and recover the crown jewels. He is in disguise, but the Brotherhood knows that he must always wear the order of the Golden Oyster, most ancient of the orders of Rootoonia. Rudolfo fools them by wearing it under his shirt instead of over his vest. Rudolfo, fond of a night off now and then, takes a couple of handsful of gold from the royal dough bag, and starts off to see what the town is like. The navigating officer and commander in chief of the cab is Billie Brown, who hopes to earn enough money nighthawking to marry Sally Sprag. Rudolfo comes home late but very happy. He has had a night of it and does not notice that the jewel of the oyster has been lost. Bill finds it and offers to return it, but Rudolfo's valet thinks Bill wants to give him a second beating and will not stand for it. Bill stands admiring the oyster as one of the men told off by the Brotherhood to make the capture happens to pass. Next morning the Fatal Four are on his track and capture him in an automobile. Sal sees the abduction and runs after the auto. She locates the home of the Brotherhood and runs in search of a disguise. She finds it in the shape of the tool kit and overalls of a thirsty plumber. Meanwhile the sentence of death has been passed upon Bill. The use of a bomb is avoided and it is decided to drown him in a bath tub. Sal now disguised in overalls, returns to the house, and climbs up the side, peering through the windows. Failing to find out anything, she gets to the roof and comes down through the chimney. She discovers the plot and gets the water key out of the plumber's kit and returns. She turns the water off at the street main then goes to the house and asks if they called a plumber. They have not had time, but they tell her they can use one. so she goes down cellar to tinker with the pipes, carrying the men with her to hold candles to light her at her work. On the pretext that she needs more tools, she regains the lodge room and locks them down there. Then she rescues Bill, and together they exterminate the anarchists with their own bombs just as the police rush in. Bill is knighted and given real money, besides, and when last seen Bill and Sal are on their way to the minister's. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
