Plot summary
Noonan steals a diamond at a Los Angeles hotel, and he needs somewhere to hide it. He slips it first into the jacket of a customer, Bob Miles, then into the pocket of Wilbur Hoolick, a barber's apprentice. Wilbur is on a train home to Blitzen, Washington, having bought a half-price ticket by pretending to be eleven years old. Noonan takes the seat beside him; Wilbur, thinking him a jealous husband, takes refuge in the compartment of Nancy Collins, who teaches at a private girls' school. When the train stops, Gretchen Brendan, the headmistress's jealous daughter, sees that Nancy has a man with her and rushes ahead to tell Nancy's fiancé. To protect Nancy's job, Wilbur keeps pretending to be a child and goes along to the school, with the thief following.
