There he meets Ruth Ridgebury, a niece of the Sopers, and falls in love with her. The Sopers finally go to their winter home and Tisdale is invited to a weekend. On the train he meets a man named Rawdin, also on the way to the Sopers. Their suit cases become mixed. A thief steals Tisdale's suitcase, which Rawdin thinks is his. Tisdale discovers the mistake after he reached the Soper home. The clothes fit him, however, and he wears them. Finding a black mask in the suitcase he suspects Rawdin of being a thief, and decides to keep his eye on him. That night Tisdale wakes to hear thieves leaving the house with the family silverware. He rushes downstairs just as there is an explosion in the library. The safe has been blown, and the jewels of the Countess Veschi, a guest, stolen. Soper and other guests rush into the library. They suspect Tisdale. The mask in his suit case confirms their suspicions. He is locked in his room to await the police. Ruth, who believes him innocent, throws him a rope from the ground and he escapes through the window. She takes him off in her car, the others in pursuit. They have a smashup but are unhurt. They take refuge in a barn where they find the thieves. Tisdale grapples with them. The others who are close behind overpower the two rogues and hurry them back to the house. Ruth and Tisdale had overheard the thieves talking and learned that the butler was at the bottom of the conspiracy and had the jewels of the countess. He is confronted and confesses. Tisdale, puzzled, turns to Rawdin, whom he had suspected of being the thief, and asks him why he carried the mask. Rawdin laughs and produces an invitation to a ball where the men were to wear black masks. Tisdale joins in the laugh at his expense, then turns to Ruth, who had stood by him, and takes her in his arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
