Scotland Yard assigns Inspector Reginald Culvert to the case, but the detective never marshals enough evidence against Standing to convict him. One day Standing rescues a woman named Marie who had jumped from the docks intending to kill herself. He then marries her and settles down in a small English village. He and his wife have a son, and the family is so happy that Standing forsakes his shady occupation to earn an honest living. After Lady Alice's pearls are stolen, Culvert lays a trap for Standing and is about to arrest him when the embarrassed woman reports that the jewels had merely fallen through a crack in the sofa. Chagrined, Culvert and his men finally agree to leave Standing in peace. Written by AFI See less
