Of course there are other admirers and when the young man finds that the way to the dancer's heart seems to lie through the giving of expensive presents, he bethinks himself of his mother's jewels. His idea is that she has so many beautiful treasures that she would hardly miss a rope of pearls, and with easy conscience he opens the family safe, takes the pearls and presents them to the lady fair. Of course the loss is discovered and a detective is summoned to solve the mystery. In the meantime the boy's grandmother, a most lovable old lady (played in person by Mrs. Heely, one of the most famous old ladies of the stage) notices the boy's great distress of mind and persuades him to confess to her, and knowing the truth the old lady goes to the dancer and tells her the whole story of the boy's impending disgrace. Her touching appeal softens the heart of the adventuress and she restores the jewels to the old lady, who brings them home just in time to prevent the boy's everlasting disgrace.
