Synopsis:
Lois stumbles upon a racket where crooks are selling furniture from peoples' homes while they are away. Lois poses as a buyer of the furniture in order to meet the crooks. When they see her honorary police deputy card, they realize that she is on to their scheme. The crooks chase Lois into a closed bowling alley. They catch her, but Lois manages to take down the three crooks by herself using her wits.
