The leader of the gang to which she had belonged is one Dart, alias the Earl of Stair when moving in better society. Dart managed to gain the confidence of the wealthy family and win the daughter Betty's hand. Hazel secretly admires Betty's brother Bob, a big, good-hearted fellow--who is favorably impressed with his family's new maid, unaware of her former identity. Hazel is unfamiliar with Dart's latest intrigue, so she is terrified when she meets her recent companion-in-crime posing as a nobleman and deceiving a good but vain girl. Dart tries to win Hazel back as his confederate. Failing, he threatens to send Hazel's brother to prison if she discloses his identity. On the one hand is the probability that she will bring pain and shame to the family, particularly the man she loves; and on the other is the probability of losing the man she loves and her brother if she informs; putting her on her guard would mean disclosing her own identity. She adopts a clever scheme, knowing that Betty will soon enter the room, and allows Dart to kiss her. Betty breaks off the engagement and explains the reason to Bob, who had trusted Hazel implicitly. Dart returns to his old haunts and shortly afterward is killed in a battle with the police. Robert reads in the papers of Dart's double life and she shows Hazel the paper. She can no longer restrain her emotions; she confesses why she allowed Dart to fondle her. Bob forgives and happiness follows for all. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
