Francis Ford and Grace Cunard were major co-stars for Universal in many short films and serials at this. In this one, they play a couple of society thieves. When he is caught out, she returns some stolen jewelry to cover him.
Although this story is complete, there are a couple of unexplained gaps in the story line that leave me slightly puzzled. At one point she visits him in jail without any clear indication of how. However, there is a clear chemistry between them that stands out, even almost a hundred years later.
Miss Cunard married and continued to work in smaller and finally bit roles at Universal for almost a quarter of a century. Mr. Ford, who started out working for Georges Melies' brother, Gaston, in his American films, directed as well as starred. Nowadays he is best remembered for getting his brother John his first job in Hollywood. After his major career ended, he continued to play small roles in his brother's films, and may best be remembered as the man who rises from his deathbed to witness the climactic brawl in THE QUIET MAN.
