Vera Vague is a reporter. Her editor sends her out to ask the man on the street where spy Bud Jamison is hiding. Her perambulations take her to Jamison, then to the lair of his boss, Vernon Dent, who needs a lady spy, also named Vera, to steal some military plans. Naturally, he mistakes her for the spy and they go off to do their dastardly deeds.
If you have a taste for Jules White cartoons, which means stupid characters, cheap gags, loud sound effects, and pneumatic cannons that fire eclairs -- which the spies insist will win the war -- then you'll like this short. I was glad to see the two old-time Sennett comedians at work, along with Heinie Conklin as a garlic-eating working man.
