So completely has Nitra got the man in her coils that he attempts stealing a valuable necklace belonging to his sister, Nell, which Nitra admires and demands. Dr. Farnell, a physician, is affianced to Nell, and it is he who surprises Morton in the act of taking the jewels; he delivers a lecture to Morton, and places the jewels in his own pocket. At this moment the maid announces to him that his valet, Felgo, has phoned for him on an urgent call. Felgo is really a tool of Nitra's, and when he puts away Farnell's clothes, discovers the jewel and steals it. An auto comes for Farnell, and he is blindfolded and taken to Nitra's underground den where one of the gang is wounded. Farnell treats the man and is paid by Nitra, who is masked. Felgo takes the necklace to Nitra, who is greatly pleased. Later, Morton calls upon Nitra, but when she refuses to see him, he forces his way to her apartment and there discovers the jewels about her neck. Knowing that Farnell had taken the jewels from him, Morton accuses Nitra of being the sweetheart of the doctor, and she lets him believe this to shield Felgo. Angry, Morton visits the doctor and accuses him of giving the jewels to Nitra. Farnell disclaims any knowledge of such a person and offers to get the jewel, but is greatly surprised when he cannot find it. Felgo, overhearing the conversation, makes his getaway. He hurries to Nitra who plans to capture the two men when they come to her apartment. Farnell, having discovered on Felgo the same perfume that was on the money given him by Nitra, suspects his connection with the theft. When the doctor and Farnell get to Nitra's they are attacked, but manage to get word to the police. The police arrive and find no disturbance. They are about to leave when the officer hears the faint sounds of a scuffle; Morton and Farnell have regained consciousness and are fighting with their captors for liberty. The police then round up the gang, and Morton, although heartbroken to learn that the woman he loves could be guilty of such perfidy, realizes that Farnell is innocent and sees the folly of his erstwhile infatuation.
