Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The famous child detective Dick, with the collaboration of his stenographer, succeeds in uncovering a desperate character. But the little stenographer falls victim to the wiles of the villain's evil accomplices, and is locked by them under vile duress in a barrel of ashes, where she falls asleep.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
