Some Scout

In a bustling metropolis, young Jerry, an earnest but somewhat naive country scout (Lupino Lane), arrives for a national jamboree, his head filled with ideals of service and adventure. Instead of predictable campfires, he inadvertently stumbles into the shadowy world of 'Sly Simon' (Wallace Lupino), a notorious jewel thief whose latest heist has captivated the city. Jerry's seemingly simplistic scouting skills — keen observation, meticulous tracking, and an uncanny ability with knots — become unexpectedly potent tools against Simon's sophisticated criminal enterprise. Amidst the urban chaos, he encounters Lily (Estelle Bradley), a resourceful young woman whose connection to the stolen jewels is initially ambiguous, forcing Jerry to discern friend from foe in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where innocence clashes with cunning.
