In the library he comes upon a very attractive little feminine Raffles, who is helping herself to the jewels in the desk. At his command she hands over her loot, begging and imploring him not to give her up. Slipping the gems in his pocket, he tells her she may go. Just then two men come in. One is in a smoking jacket, the other in a policeman's uniform. The smoker, apparently the owner of the house, commands the policeman to take both the girl and the man in charge. They are manacled, linked together and marched away. Soon the policeman returns. "I gave them the slip down the block," he announces, "Now we must clear out of here." The wily crooks hurry into street clothes and are on the point of making their escape, when several real policemen, headed by the young man in evening dress and the girl enter the house. The criminals are dragged to jail. Then Gilbert takes from the mantel a picture of himself and shows it to the girl. He, then, is the owner of the house. She looks up at him, winking back the tears. In his eyes sue reads the awakening of love. The open door has proved indeed their gateway to happiness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
