Love, Loot and Crash
About Love, Loot and Crash
After the cook is fired, Dora and her banker father are stuck in the kitchen. An ad draws two crooks. The plump one (Fritz Schade) dresses as a woman, takes the job, and means to rob the house. Dora's suitor Harold (Charley Chase) tells her to come when he whistles. The crook locks a policeman in the basement, leaves with the silver, and is grabbed by Harold, who thinks he has Dora, onto a motorcycle. Dora gets into the crooks' car. Her father and the Keystone Cops join the chase. It ends in the water.
