Synopsis

The villain, Archibald Quingle, hypnotizes his victims into a state where they agree to do his bidding.

And the innocent heroine, little Daisy, is the special target of Archibald's machinations.

When the arch fiend proposes to the proud heroine she rejects him.

He discovers that she is in love with noble Chester and decides to do a little extra dirty work involving the theft of the papers, and he also tries to fasten his crimes on poor Chettie.

Splendid parts for everyone, most of them comedy.
