Billy&apos;s Scoop

Billy is employed in the office of the "Daily Howler." He is entrusted with a special assignment but fails to turn in his "copy" on time, the lapse from duty being caused by a charming girl, the daughter of a mighty local magnate, whom Billy has wooed and won, and through whom he forgets the care of the office. The following day Billy loses his job. He learns that his former boss is making strenuous efforts to obtain "copy" from the millionaire father of his sweetheart. The millionaire has stood off the besieging pressmen with the aid of a stalwart gardener. The latter, armed with a hose, has deluged the reporters with great liberality and Billy, happening on the scene on one of these occasions, is apprised of the fact that a big "scoop" is to be had from the father of his girl. Knowing that the old man will not stand for an interview, and not desiring to share the fate of his fellow-reporters, Billy obtains a complete fireman's outfit, which he dons and thus fortified, he storms the citadel. Billy wrestles with the gardener and takes the offending hose away from him. He turns the water on the reporters, the gardener and finally holds the millionaire up at the nozzle of the hose until he obtains from him the items which go to make one of the biggest scoops of the season. Billy proudly turns his "copy" in to his former boss and is immediately re-engaged. The millionaire learns from his daughter that the daring young pressman who so cleverly held him up and succeeded where so many others had failed, is her lover. After a momentary fit of anger, Billy is sent for. He and the victim of the ruse meet. The millionaire looks from the glowing face of his daughter to the expectant Billy, and finally extends his arms to both.
