They fasten the pearls around the neck of a big black cat which they have in their stateroom, and tie a white satin ribbon over the jewels. When the ship reaches New York the little daughter of the banker demands to see the new kitten which her mother has promised to bring her from abroad. The mother is so worried over the loss of the necklace, however, that she hardly can hear what the child is saying. She pleads hysterically with the detective summoned by wireless to find the gems. Meanwhile, her little daughter has found on the wharf a basket containing a big black kitten. She gets through the lines with it to her mother's automobile. The crooks, by this time, have discovered the loss of their cat. They find another basket, however, containing a Maltese kitten, and tagged with the name and address of the little girl. Leaving all their baggage on the pier, they hastily follow on her trail. Such indifference to all their belongings, and an apparent insane desire to recover a lost cat, arouses the suspicions of the detective. He pursues the crooks. At the little girl's house they learn that the child has gone to a cat show in the neighborhood, where she is presenting her new feline pet for a prize. The detective shadows the pair to the show. The place is crowded. But presently the intruders manage to work their way up to the wire enclosures, where several hundred beautiful cats are mewing for popular favor. Suddenly the two crooks push their way over and lay violent hands on the black cat, which is sitting bolt upright on a blue cushion in a familiar basket. The child utters a cry of dismay, and reaches out for her pet. In the confusion, the white satin bow becomes untied. The little girl's father, who has hurried up, seizes from the cat's fur the necklace of pearls. The crooks are arrested, and the little girl is surprised to find that she now has two beautiful kittens, the black one and the new Maltese. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
