An Innocent Adventuress

🎞️ Movie 50 min --
1919

Lindy, an innocent girl reared in a small town, accepts a letter for her friend, Mrs. Bates, from wealthy landlady Mrs. Cribbley. Believing the letter to be an eviction notice, Lindy postpones delivery, but soon becomes terrified upon learning that mail theft is a felony, and that her dog has destroyed the letter. Lindy's greatest admirer is reformed thief Dick Ross, who is now Mrs. Cribbley's secretary. His former partner in crime, "Doc" Brogan, robs Mrs. Cribbley's house, but she suspects a tramp named Chilowee Bill. Lindy erroneously thinks that her theft has been discovered, and when she befriends Chilowee Bill, Dick mistakenly assumes that she is in league with the robbers. He loses his incentive to reform and joins forces with Doc and Lindy. Although Dick plans to rob Mr. Meekton, Chilowee Bill does it first, leading Doc to suspect that he has been double-crossed. Bill confesses to protect Lindy, while Dick knocks Doc unconscious and retrieves Mrs. Cribbley's jewels. When Lindy confesses her fears, Dick reassembles the letter to show that it was only a request to return the garden hose.
