She is loved by Nathan, a Jewish lad, but does not return his affection, for she is being courted by rich young Dick North. Dick's mother incurs some debts from cards, which her husband refuses to pay. She pawns a diamond star with Ruth's father and later tells her husband and son that the jewel was stolen. Ruth receives an invitation to a dance and seeing the diamond star prevails upon her father to allow her to wear it that evening. He weakly consents. Dick is at the dance and recognizes the star. She tells him that her father gave it to her. He says that her father must be a thief: that the star was stolen from his mother. She realizes that she will have to do that thing she loathes to do, take the boy to her father's shop. She does, the duplicate ticket is shown, and Dick realizes the truth. He tries to make up with Ruth for his suspicion, but she tells him his ways are not hers. As he turns to go the old man gives him his star to take to his mother as a token of good will. As the girl sees Dick go out of her life she turns to Nathan, and for the first time realizes his worth and goodness. And old Jacobs sees a love story and a better understanding coming between the two young people of the same faith. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
