Jack Venning, in a moment of insane wagering, gives a check of $5,000 (approximately 100,000-150,000 as of 2015) to secure a gambling debt. The dashing Jack is admired by Mrs. Romano, a society adventuress with a passion that is not reciprocated and finally turns her fondness to hatred. She overhear's Jack's confession, to his sister, concerning the check and his plea for $5,000 to save him from prison. The hostess of the evening has a pearl necklace of great price that is broken, so she puts it in a crystal jewel box in her boudoir. The wiley and revengeful widow gets the necklace and places it in the vanity bag of Laura. The latter, disconcerted by her brother's story, is about to leave the house when the loss of the necklace is discovered, and Laura is accused of the theft. The officers are called and Mrs. Romano adroitly eggs them on, calling in Martin, the chief of detectives. How he discovers the real thief is one of the cleverest bits of picture work of a play of the time. Cast
