Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The celebrated Biograph sleuths again almost catch the real criminals. However, they make a wholesale arrest and are self-satisfied. The vice committee engages their services in getting evidence against a certain gambling parlor. They, with their usual bungling, let the gamblers escape and arrest instead the entire vice committee, who, as a last resource, make the raid themselves, seizing the gambling paraphernalia. Hence, the sleuths, finding them in possession of the goods, arrest them as the gamblers.
