DIRECTION WILLIAM FOX

Miss Glayds (sic) Brockwell has a surprise in store for her friends in this rapid-fire crook picture. She plays a dual role, something not new to her of course, but here her friends will see her entirely changed in one characterization. She does this simply by "making up" her nose. The play itself is a thrilling story of a poor girl and a rich girl both fooled by a crook. Together they finally bring him to a just end.
