Tom Astley, a jewel thief, learns of this and plans to have the stone. Van Courtlandt hires Race and his Scarlet Runner on a pretext of making a pleasure tour of the continent. He gets the stone, unknown, to Race, then calls the trip off and returns to England. He is to meet old Jacobs, a trusted servant, and Miss Warren, each of whom will carry a package similar to his own, one of which contains the diamond. Old Jacobs is caught and drugged. Astley takes his place, disguised, and meets the others in England. They all set out in Scarlet Runner. Astley arouses suspicions by his actions, and Van, during a delay caused by the disguised crook, hides his package in the car. They are held up by Astley's accomplices clad as policemen and placed under arrest. Race escapes and sends back genuine policemen to the rescue. He speeds to an address which Van shouted as he ran away and which he recognizes as that of Peter Maritz. The latter is suspicious when he finds that no message is brought by Christopher. A search fails to reveal the package he seeks. Van and Miss Warren arrive and explain. Van produces the package containing the diamond from its hiding place, and the affair ends happily for all, save the unlucky crooks. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
