When a cable from France informs them to be on the lookout for a famous French crook who is a master of hypnotism. They assign their best detectives on his trail. At the Van Osten reception the police mingle with the guests, and one of their number becomes suspicious of an apparently dignified French nobleman with exceptionally piercing eyes. His watchfulness is finally rewarded when he sees the Frenchman put under hypnotic power the young woman who is engaged to marry the son and heir of the Van Osten millions. The detective hears the explicit instructions given to the young woman to take the famous Van Osten jewels from their hiding place and bring them to him. Under the hypnotic power, the young woman obeys the command and is seen handing them to the Frenchman by her fiancé. Thinking that his sweetheart is in league with the man, he obtains the jewels and permits suspicion to fall upon himself. All ends happily when the detective steps forth and arrests his man, compelling him first of all to release the woman from the hypnotic spell. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
