The Darnell's chauffeur, a member of the band, cleverly steals the magnificent necklace which Jean receives from her father. The crook hides his loot in the machine. Before he can recover it, he is discharged for drunkenness. Jack Baldwin, a wealthy young man, takes the crook's place. The Darnells are unaware of Baldwin's identity. Jack finds a black ring and carelessly places it on one of his fingers. He and Jean fall in love with each other. Jack finds a rival in Count Barnoff, who succeeds in fascinating Jean. Awakened one night, Jack sees the discharged chauffeur coming out of the garage. He follows the man and is guided to the rendezvous of the Black Ring. The young clubman peers through one of the windows and sees the man he had trailed pass Jean's necklace over to a masked man. Jack discovers the latter to be Count Barnoff. By a daring piece of work, the young man secures the necklace and makes his escape. Jean and her father, suspecting Jack of being the original thief, endeavor to have him arrested. To their surprise, the detectives recognize the man and laughingly refuse to take him in charge. Jack learns that Count Barnoff and his gang plan a wholesale jewel robbery to take place on the night of the Darnell ball. Detectives posted by the young man take note of the thefts. Disguised as a Hindu fakir, Jack tells the fortunes of the guests and thus unmasks Barnoff. The latter escapes, closely followed followed by his rival and the detectives. The black ring worn by Jack enables him to enter the Knights' den and he brings about the capture of the entire gang after a furious struggle. Jean later consents to marry her "chauffeur."
