In Hot Pursuit

• Watchlist

Old Clifford Moore, a blind piano tuner, lives with his daughter Eleanor in a little cottage home at the beautiful city of Baune. The daughter assists her father not only by caring for the house, but also by acting as guide to him in his trips to the various homes where his work calls him. On the day with which our story opens Mr. Moore is called to the house of the wealthy Franklin family. Eleanor guides him to the mansion and attends him while he is at work in the music room. The son of the household, a young man of evil habits, attempts to make love to Eleanor. The old gentleman, hearing the pleadings of the dishonest youth, takes his daughter from the house, leaving the work unfinished. A few evenings later young Franklin, with a pair of hired rogues, waylay the old man and his daughter on the street. After a short struggle, in which the blind man did his best to protect his daughter, Eleanor is captured and carried away in an automobile. Happily the father has secured the neck scarf belonging to young Franklin. By this the the identity of the abductors is discovered and after a lively pursuit the young lady is rescued and the young man punished.
