Summary Kidnapping Dolly (1912)

Little Edith Wright is the proud possessor of a beautiful doll, and in her honor she invites all her little friends to be present at a doll's tea party. All are enjoying themselves, when a gang of young rowdies espy the happy little party, and the leader suggests that they form themselves into a young Black Hand and kidnap Dolly. This is done, and the doll is carried to a nearby hut and word is sent to little Edith that unless she brings a ransom in the shape of several oranges, apples, three cents and a custard pie, the doll's head will be cut off. Little Edith's heart is broken and in her despair she goes to the famous detective, Hairlock Combs. The great sleuth hands the case over to his little son Joe, who handles it in a clever manner, and brings the criminals to justice by throwing them into a nearby creek. Dolly is restored to Edith, and the happy child rewards the savior of her pet with a beautiful baseball bat and glove. The picture is played entirely by children, with the exception of the one scene, in which Hairlock Combs, the detective, appears.
