The proprietor gives Neely a diamond necklace to deliver to an address, warning him to beware of suspicious characters. As soon as he reaches the street he is followed by a very suspicious looking roughneck, who is shortly joined by two other roughs. He ducks into doorways and takes to back alleys on the run but his shadows can't be shaken. He boards a trolley car and sighs with relief as he sits down, only to be met by the glare of the "shadow" who is sitting across the aisle. There, in another seat, is the pretty customer. He sits with her and exchanges bags with her by mistake. Getting off the car, he is followed by the detectives. An accident happens in which the jewel bag is lost. Neely goes to the house where the necklace was to have been delivered, to confess his loss. It turns out to be the home of the pretty customer who opens the bag she has been carrying which holds her new diamond necklace. The three shadows stalk through the house, throwing Neely into spasm of fear until he calls a cop and learns that they are the detectives who were engaged to protect him.
