Hearing of this, the crook impudently visits the chief and warns him of a libel suit, should he repeat the statement. Jean and her assistant meet the crook. The Girl Detective notices a peculiar mark on the man's hand. Shortly afterward the detectives are assigned to attend a masque ball given by Mrs. Winslow, a wealthy widow. Scotty Weed, having heard of Mrs. Winslow's diamond tiara, determines to attend the function. After establishing an alibi, the crook makes his way to the Winslow mansion. His presence is discovered by Jean, but not until after the man has stolen the tiara. As the result of the theft, the guests are ordered to unmask. Confronted by Jean, Weed holds the guests at bay with a revolver and escapes. The detectives, knowing at which hotel he is stopping, follow. To their surprise, they are informed that Scotty Weed has not been out all evening. Nevertheless, Jean and Warrington enter the crook's room. They find him in bed. Weed protests against the intrusion, asserting that it was a double who impersonated him at the ball. Warrington, however, finds the costume which the crook had worn. In spite of this, the man asserts his innocence. A search for the tiara proves futile. A mysterious short circuit plunges the room into darkness. An electrician traces the cause of the trouble to the electric chandelier. An investigation proves it to have been caused by the tiara, which is brought to light. Weed is arrested.
