Determined to find the culprit and bring him to justice, she visits her father's company, posing as a wealthy widow seeking investment securities. She is given a partnership in the firm and cultivates the acquaintance of the president, Corday, whom she invites to a staged séance; he becomes so frightened at her apparent possession of facts regarding his guilt that he confesses his part in the crime. Later, Mary sees Corday enter the office safe to steal valuable securities; however, the vice president, with the aid of Mary's evidence and two detectives, forces a confession from him. Mary and King, the young vice president, decide to spend their honeymoon with her father, who is cleared of the charge. Written by AFI See less
