Synopsis: [Reel Life, 10 October 1914, page ?] On his way to work Bill is attracted by a meeting of the W.W.W.’s, and becomes so absorbed that he forgets business. That same day, Bill’s boss, while motoring with his lady love, neglects to notice the speedometer which had developed about forty-five miles an hour. The result is, he is landed in jail, and, unable to secure bail, he phones Bill the combination of the safe. That young man starts to follow instructions, but, unfortunately, the combination slips his mind, and he hastily goes and secures a pal who is quite adept at opening safes. . . . But when Hadley learns the character of Bill’s accomplice who now shares the secret of the combination, he is not a little perturbed.
