On their way with it to the Sultan, a ray of light from the gem brings back the sight of a blind beggar. The jewel contains some property of radium but the ignorant Hindoo slaves regard it with awe as, possessing some divine power. With the beggar following them they present the jewel to the Sultan and explain the miracle. The ruler decides to have it set and commissions his prime minister, body guard, to take it to the United States for this purpose. Arriving in New York, the wonderful stone is left in the care of Mr. Manderson, the famous jeweler. That evening the wealthy stone setter is presented with a bust of himself made by his blind daughter, Ellen. Her affliction has been the sorrow of his otherwise happy life. That same evening he reads a newspaper notice of the jewel which has been left with him and realizes this wonderful stone is his. Proceeding to his store, he robs his own safe but, meanwhile, grouped around a table, the prime minister and his followers are looking into the depth of a crystal ball and they see the robbing of the sacred jewel. Hastening at once to the jeweler's they follow Manderson and watch him as he enters the library of his home. One of the men attempt to raise the window sash and enter, and thinking it a thief, Manderson sticks the stone in the eye cavity in the bust which his daughter had presented him. The Hindoos enter and there is a fierce struggle which arouses Ellen, who comes into the library. In the struggle the electric lamp is overturned and the room is in total darkness. The girl's eyes come in contact with the stone and the mystic rays coming in touch with her vision restores her sight. Meanwhile the Hindoos find the jewel and, while the crystal peerer prostrates himself before it. the father of Ellen is explaining the story of the Prime Minister, and the jewel of Allah is again left in care of Manderson to be set and cut.
