Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Stanton objects to his wife playing cards for money, but she disobeys him. Their host, Seymour, presents his wife with a costly necklace. The maid steals the gift and, having passed it through a window to her confederate outside, places the jewel case among Mrs. Stanton’s belongings, where her husband later finds it. He also finds a note from one of the guests to his wife, asking her to pay her gambling losses. He becomes convinced that his wife has stolen the necklace. Mrs. Stanton overhears the maid arranging with her confederate to dispose of the necklace, and cleverly gets ahead of her to the rendezvous. The crooks capture her and lock her in a room, where she finds the hiding place of the necklace, drops a message from the window, and gives her captors battle until the police arrive and rescue her.
