Dominica pledges to assist him and succeeds in engaging herself as a singer for the event. The night of the party Braga enters the house, disguised as a maitre d'hotel, having made love to the maid in order to get this chance. He hides in a chest in the lower hall while Dominica is singing at the piano. Dominica discovers their rival thief, LeGrand, an ex-police official, acting as a table assistant. The party is over, Braga is still hiding in the chest and LeGrand has not succeeded in procuring the jewels yet. Young McFarland, nephew of the rich spinster, takes the jewels under his arm, planning to deposit them in the safe deposit vault in the morning. LeGrand follows. In the meantime Dominica has disguised as an Italian street singer boy and waits for Braga. McFarland is attacked by LeGrand, but Dominica warns him in time. After a fierce struggle McFarland breaks loose and LeGrand flees, with Dominica lying wounded on the ground. McFarland takes her home in a taxicab. The next morning Braga, defeated and fearful of the police, advises that the two break up for a while for safety's sake. Dominica renounces him as a coward and orders him from her suite. He goes.
