Matt loves her and always hopes that she will regain it. Jane's great amusement is the phonograph. One day she is alone and thieves enter the house. She is unable to call for help, but she takes the receiver of the telephone off the hook and places the phonograph near the phone. She then plays "Listen to This Cry of Help." The operator understands the message, and sends the police. Before they arrive, the thieves hear the machine and try to enter the room. She piles furniture against the door to keep them out. Matt appears just as they are about to break in. He fights them both. The excitement restores to Jane the power of speech. The police arrive and take the thieves into custody.
