Her mother approves of the match, but Murray does not. The next morning, Harry's uncle learns of his predicament, and determines to help the boy out. He calls him into his office and promises him a junior partnership with him, on the day he marries Marion. Harry is highly elated and when he tells Marion and her mother, both are delighted. Old man Murray grumbles his consent. Mrs. Murray later tells her husband that they must give Harry a nice wedding present. He flatly refuses. A few days before the wedding, Murray is asked pointedly by a visitor what he is going to give his daughter and grouchily replies he has not yet made up his mind. Two days before the wedding, Mrs. Murray determines to have it out with her husband. They quarrel and Mrs. Murray snatches a case of diamonds he is looking at and going to the window, threatens to throw it into the street. This brings him to terms, and he consents to her giving Marion three of the most beautiful stones. That evening, Marion thinks she hears a burglar and sees her father enter the drawing-room and go stealthily to where the diamonds are lying and put them in his pocket. The next morning, Marion tells Harry and they decide to teach Murray a lesson. He gets his old friend, Jack Thompson, to pretend he is a detective and old Murray nearly has a fit when he is told the detective is going to take everybody's fingerprints. Murray determines to bolt. He is stopped in the hall by a policeman. He breaks down and confesses, giving Marion the diamonds and consenting to the marriage. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
