Linda Stirling plays Barbara Meredith who in this bit is captured by two thugs. Her arms are tied at her side with rope, and she's forced to call in a message to the Black Whip for the local paper to be printed on the front page. Afterward, the ruffians tie her in a chair so they can ready a wagon to haul her off to an abandoned mine. But plucky Barbara wriggles over to a knitting basket and fetches a convenient pair of scissors to cut herself loose.
