It wasn't much of a bank, as banks go, but it did boast of the smallest, neatest little porter in the 48 states. It happened to be the one thing that made him a papa-his Baby Peggy. While father was busy juggling the books, little Peggy was rolling the dice with her assistant the black porter. While they were all busy at their individual jobs, in walks a freak Jesse James. He takes the bank's money and escapes. As he does so, Baby Peggy catches a glimpse of his face. In her wanderings at the sea shore, Baby Peggy comes to a large umbrella under which the bank robber is reading an item concerning bank robbery that mentions the robber had overlooked a huge booty. Baby Peggy recognizes the thief, overhears his remark that he is going back to get what was overlooked. So Peggy runs back to the bank, calls the police, and sure enough the thief is again cleaning up, but through the quick thinking of his little daughter, father's vast fortune is saved.
