She decides that he must live at her home while handling the case, warning him that her niece Bernice is engaged to Mr. Lemuel Z. Hawksberry, a wealthy butter merchant. The warning is unheeded. An amateur theatrical is planned in which Mrs. Chelmsford's famous emerald necklace is to be used. Beatrice insists that Vincent he given the leading part instead of Hawksberry, and the two youngsters, each with a copy of the play in their hands make love under the eyes of the unsuspecting aunt. Calico Jake, with fraudulent introductions, gets a part in the play and steals the necklace. It happens that Vincent and Bernice, eloping, choose Jake's getaway automobile and all end up in a police station. The gems are recovered, a wedding celebrated and everybody is happy except Mr. Lemuel Z. Hawksberry. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
