At the opening of the present picture Lady Raffles is being conducted to the penitentiary, handcuffed to a guard of the prison, and as the train races along the girl, who has defeated justice so many times considers herself beaten. The play leads off with My Lady Raffles giving herself over to melancholy contemplation. Two railroad employees became frenzied in a nearby switch tower, and the train is wrecked. In the midst of the burning field of destruction and death a man and a woman, chained together by their wrists, both unconscious, are rescued from the flames. The man dies and the woman is unchained from the body. She is laid upon a grassy bank and there My Lady Raffles regains consciousness, realizes that chance has been her friend, and escapes. She returns to her old haunts and after a short rest is again ready to pursue her nefarious trade. One idea predominates her. She must even up accounts with Phil Kelley, whom she admires as deeply as she hates. Then follows a brilliant combat of wits. A girl, Kelley's fiancée, is accused and placed on trial for murdering her own father. The Lady Raffles, Kelley knows, is the only one who can save the girl by her testimony. The girl Raffles writes the detective, after her escape, to the effect that she intends to steal the family jewels of the Grahame family. This letter she plans to have posted after the crime is done. The Grahame family is made up of a father and twin sisters, Jo and Nell. Kelley is in love with Nell. The woman burglar enters the Grahame residence and steals the jewels. While she is exploring the house, however, she makes a gruesome discovery. She finds Mr. Grahame, the father, dead in a chair, an ugly wound in his temple. She hastily escapes with the jewels. One of her confederates is captured by the police. Kelley and Jones, another detective, are detailed on the case. Jones suspects that one of the twins has murdered the old man. Kelley is certain that the old man committed suicide or met death accidentally, also he knows that if she chooses, Lady Raffles can save the twins. A three-corner battle of wits follows. Jones is bent upon capturing Lady Raffles. Kelley protects her because he knows if she is arrested she will not aid the twins. On two occasions when the capture of Lady Raffles is certain Kelley saves her. He gives her to understand that one good turn deserves another and that she can save the twins if she will only speak. She promises to save the twins. The day of the trial arrives. At the critical moment Lady Raffles appears and testifies that it was she who stole the jewels and that Mr. Grahame's death was an accident. The twins are acquitted. As she has turned state's evidence, Lady Raffles is pardoned. Kelley assures the female crook that if she is sincere in her desire for reformation she may call on him for help.
