Smith." A diamond merchants and his wife are visiting the same city and they stop at the same hotel--and his name is H. Smith. Thus the trouble starts, as their rooms are adjoining. A burglar bent upon plunder ransacks the groom's room and leaves it in a sorry state; the bride, returning, thinks her husband is untrue to her. Meanwhile, the burglar has ransacked the diamond merchant's room and scattered all the clothing about, so she gets the wrong impression, and when a rather flashily-dressed buyer comes to interview the merchant, she gets some reception from the wife. There is a general skirmish, with the burglar hiding in a closet. From here he finally emerges, but manages to clear up the mystery. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
