There is also present young John Everard, a nephew of Mrs. Daventry's. The young man is very much taken with Molly's charm and becomes interested in her. The count is also an expert photographer, and to please all the women he takes their photos in their best gowns. The last night of the party John proposes. Molly says she cannot think of marrying while her father is alive as he would not think of such a thing. John says that she may change her mind and asks her to wear his ring until she makes her final decision. Several days later the women come to Mrs. Daventry and say that their jewels have been stolen and imitation ones put in their places. A detective is called and is suspicious of the Count as the only ones in the party that are not to be found, Molly and her father. John is heartbroken as he cannot get any trace of Molly. The truth of the matter is that Bricken is the head of a band of crooks and that the photos were taken so that reproductions of the jewels could be made. Some time later the crooks plan to rob John's home although they do not tell Molly the right name of the owner of the house. She is forced to take part in the job and while they are in the house John comes in. Molly is dressed as a boy and it is only by his ring that he sees on her finger that John is able to recognize her. Following this the detectives get on the trail of the whole band of thieves and in the attempt to capture them Molly's father is killed. There is no obstacle in the way of the happy marriage of the couple. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
