Attempting to commit a robbery at the home of Paul Sylvaine, she's caught by Sylvaine; instead of treating her as a thief and turning her over to the police, he has an extraordinary interview with her. Sylvaine has faith in the innate goodness of human nature, and this faith is strengthened by Leah's confession that her father has taught her to steal and that she wants to go somewhere to forget the past and begin life anew. An adroit complication is here introduced that increases the suspense: The brother of the girl that Sylvaine is to marry, returning from a drunken spree, enters Sylvaine's apartments and steals the jewels that Leah was to have taken. Sylvaine believes that he was duped by Leah, who after all his kindness and forbearance, fulfilled her job before she left. But eventually Sylvaine learns that the theft was committed by his fiancée's brother. Leah is exonerated, and just to help sentimental matters along, the engagement between Sylvaine and his fiancée is suddenly terminated. Sylvaine seeks Leah and finds her living far from Paris, a redeemed and regenerated woman. Ha asks her to marry him; she consents, and the jewels that brought her into Sylvaine's home and into contact with his refining influence are bestowed upon her as a wedding gift.
