Taking advantage of the opportunity she lays her plans to get away with some valuable jewels. Jim O'Bryan, the tool, enters stealthily by way of a side window. He then waylays one of the house butlers and manages to change clothes with him, after which it is easy to get about unrecognized. In the guise of a butler and under the direction of Mazie Jim finally gets possession of the jewels. In making his escape from the house he is discovered by Detective O'Bryan and is wounded. Arriving at the rendezvous, where his partner in crime is waiting, they undertake to divide the spoils, but an argument arises and the wounded crook is forcibly ejected, minus the spoils, from the shack. Ill from loss of blood he manages to reach the home of Tom and Molly Ryan, where he seeks protection, and is finally hidden in a clothes closet. In the meantime the detective arrives at the home of Tom, and although they are innocent, he arrests them. The detectives then return to the river front and finally locate the shack, but Travis, another crook, and Mazie manage to escape and get away on a steam launch, they took without the owner's permission. The detective follows on a river tug, finally overtaking and capturing the pair. At the police court, Tom and Molly, the innocent, and Travis and Mazie, the guilty, are brought face to face, but no evidence is available against Travis and Mazie, when suddenly Tim O'Bryan staggers in and acknowledges his part of the robbery at the same time accusing Travis and Mazie and clearing Tom and Molly of the charge. The finale is very effective, especially when Detective O'Bryan learns it was his own son whom he had wounded and was the actual thief. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
