Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The girl found her duties pleasant until Mrs. Randolph’s dissipated son began to persecute her with his attentions. She was glad when he went away to the country with his mother. Before going Mrs. Randolph locked her jewels in the safe. During the girl’s temporary absence the jewels were stolen. Rushing to the street, she caught a glimpse of a well-dressed man hurrying away. Next day she saw him again and followed him to his rooms, where, by pretending to be ill, she obtained entrance and studied the situation. Mrs. Randolph, returning, was persuaded by her son to call the police. Just as they were taking the girl away, the “burglar” entered. He turned out to be Mrs. Randolph’s nephew, who had taken the jewels away for safe keeping. Only a misunderstanding, after all, or a new trick of Cupid to bring two victims together.
