Mr. Harriman Sneed drops into Pleasant Valley, and upon his coat lapel there glistens a detective's shield. Don is especially interested in the great sleuth, and Mr. Sneed very kindly accepts Don's savings of a hundred dollars in order to secure an appointment as Mr. Sneed's detective agent in Pleasant Valley. Don works overtime at the detective business, and his industry is rewarded when he encounters a masked man robbing the post office. To Don's infinite amazement, he finds the burglar to be Mr. Sneed. Sneed escapes after knocking Don senseless. A posse corners the robber on Raspberry Hill, but no one dares attempt his capture. Don, recovering from the blow, decides to go after the robber. Facing almost certain death, he fearlessly affects the capture of the desperado single handed and recovers the stolen bag of mall. Don learns that in Sneed, he has captured the most daring and notorious safe breaker in the country. The New York authorities also inform Don that for his capture there is coming to him a reward of a thousand dollars. As pretty Sue Planter happens to be closest to Don's side at the moment the information arrives, Don has two reasons for the broad smiles that illumines his countenance.
