Buddy, an office-boy in a newspaper plant, puts on long trousers to get a man's-size job on the paper, and impress his girl. His brother, a reporter, is sent to write a story on a mysterious eye that has been terrorizing the neighborhood, sending women into hysterics. The girl staff writer disguises herself as a man and goes on her own hook to get the story. The three meet in an apparently haunted house, where mysterious happenings terrify them, furniture jumps about, a mysterious eye follows them through the place. Buddy dresses as a girl and vamps his brother, obtaining the story. He manages to catch the doctor, attired as the mysterious eye to drum up trade, and scores a beat on the others. He gives them credit for digging up the story, however, and the editor gives them his blessing - and a raise.
