Carlow enlists bis aid and the two prey upon fashionable society, to which the fortune hunter has entrée. While walking with Carlow shortly afterwards, Marguerite stops at a jeweler's to have her watch repaired. The girl admires a necklace on display and her suitor orders it sent to his hotel. Carlow intimates that he intends to present the jewel to Marguerite that evening when he will ask her to be his wife. Morton, on watch outside the store, steals the necklace from the messenger who is carrying it to the hotel. The thief turns the necklace over to Carlow in a nearby café. Neither of them notice Hal Worth, who loves Marguerite, surveying them from behind his newspaper. Hal snaps the two with a tiny watch camera, just as the package is passed. He also snaps pictures of them as they arrange signals for another robbery. Just before he and Marguerite leave for a ball that night, Carlow presents the necklace to the heiress. Although it is the man's request that she do not wear the jewel that evening, Marguerite slips it on. At the ball Carlow is dismayed at the sight of the necklace. Fearing lest the theft be brought home to him, Carlow signals Morton to steal it. This is done. Marguerite gives the alarm. Her escort accuses Hal of the crime. Hal, however, turns the tables upon the two crooks by displaying the snapshots, and the men are brought to justice. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
