Baffles further hears that the irritated father proposes to marry her to a member of the nobility. Her accomplice, the crook, is induced to disguise himself as a member of the English nobility and offer himself as a candidate for Lillian's hand. The old gent falls at once for the impostor. Lillian rebels, but dad orders an immediate marriage. Tom, broken hearted, gets wind of the situation. He goes to the famous detective, Duck, with his troubles. Duck sympathizes and gives Tom an instrument called the "smello-graph," the properties of which send out such a strong scent that messages by its means can be sent from distant points, even penetrating the thickest steel with its smell waves. Tom pockets the instrument. He is further advised to elope with Lillian. This strikes him as a great idea and he lays his plans. But the eloping couple are caught and Tom is locked in a huge vault. Then the exasperated father sends for a minister to marry the supposed Lord to Lillian. Tom is, seemingly, up against it. While in this terrible stress he remembers the "smello-graph." He sends out S.O.S. calls for help. Duck receives the desperate messages. He immediately disguises himself as a burglar and comes post-haste. He endeavors to open the safe. Baffles, in hiding, sees him. She thinks he is a burglar surely, and aids him in opening the safe. Tom dashes out just as the wedding is about to take place. The situation is saved.
