Although the thumb-prints on the safe tend to bear out this theory, Jean, the Girl Detective, suspects crooked work. She is informed that Breslow, well known to the police, had been found paralyzed near the Merriman mansion and taken to the hospital. Jean discovers that Breslow is suffering from a temporary shock and that his recovery is but a matter of days. She learns that Denton, Merriman's trusted servant, is a photographic expert. To the gem collector's surprise, she boldly confronts Denton and charges him with the crime. The Girl Detective then reveals what she has ascertained as the result of her work on the case. His cupidity aroused by the wonderful Merriman gems. Denton had stolen them. By a clever photographic process, the servant duplicated his master's thumb-prints on rubber and transferred them to the safe. Denton had arranged to dispose of the stolen gems through Breslow. The latter was waiting outside the house. A moment after he had given the rubies to his accomplice, Denton's avarice overcame him and he decided to play the game alone. To this end, he attacked Breslow. In falling, the latter injured his spine. Breslow, in revenge, had confessed to Jean. Thus cornered, Denton admits his guilt and is led away under arrest.
