Reared in a family of thieves, she has become a big card among the light-fingered gentry, glorying in her skill as a thief of international reputation and priding in her title, "The Queen of Diamonds." Rose has never known love. Her nemesis proves to be Larry Moran, a young Central Office detective, working under Chief McCall, who has taken a fatherly interest in the young sleuth's advancement. Larry has seen Rose on her first appearance in the city, and not knowing her record, has fallen under the spell of her charms. Even after he has been told of her identity by the Chief he still cannot resist her fascination. The Chief one day sees him looking fondly at Rosie's photograph in the Rogues' Gallery. He resolves to put the boy to the test. Rose, visiting a fence run by Spanish Ed, is tipped off to a job by that worthy, who is one of her many admirers. She readily accepts the tip, but repulses his advances. Ed resolves on revenge and manages to get information to Police Headquarters that Rose is to crack a safe that night at a wealthy uptown residence. At headquarters the Chief assigns Larry to make the "pinch" alone. Larry resolves to put his duty as an officer before all else and conceals himself that night in the marked house. Rose, unsuspecting, walks into the trap. After a strenuous struggle, Larry succeeds in shackling Rose's wrist to his own with handcuffs. Rose resorts to woman's most compelling weapon, tears. Swayed by his secret love for her, Larry yields to her pleadings to be released from the humiliating cuffs. As he unfastens the cuff from his arm, however, Rose, her criminal instincts predominating, deals him a vicious blow on the head with the loosened bracelet and he sinks unconscious to the floor. Rose then attempts to find the key to the cuffs, but in so doing she comes upon the evidence of Ed's betrayal and also proof that the young detective himself loves her. At this moment the Chief, who has just rounded up Ed and his gang in a raid, comes to the marked house to verify his suspicions. Rose hides and the Chief finds Larry alone, the loot and the lady missing. When Larry comes to, he is given a brow beating by his superior officer that leaves nothing for him to do but to resign from the service. But as the Chief turns momentarily away Rose, who now realizes that an honest man really loves her, comes from her hiding place, and quickly snapping the handcuff back on Larry's wrist, returns the loot. As the Chief returns he finds that after all the young officer has made the "pinch." Sometime later, after Rose has served her sentence, and accepted Larry's love, it is conclusively proved to the Chief that the reformation of the once notorious "Queen of Diamonds" is a fact. We leave the lovers receiving the Chief's blessing as he tears the picture of Rose that once hung in the Rogues' Gallery. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
