Austin's flashing black eyes and silky jet mustache cause Nell to throw over Ben and promise to marry her new admirer the following afternoon. Nell's Aunt Ellen goes to the jeweler's and buys a beautiful necklace for the bride-to-be. Austin spies her. As the mysterious bridegroom's vocation is taking other people's things, and as he is ignorant of Aunt Ellen's identity, he shadows her home and resolves to pay her a midnight call. Austin enters the house and secures the necklace. Nell, who is spending the night with her aunt, surprises him, however. As it is dark, they fail to recognize each other. Austin is obliged to slap Nell's face in order to make his getaway. The following day Austin gives the necklace to Nell's father with instructions that it shall not be presented to the bride until time for the ceremony. Nell appears with the fingerprints still on her face. Austin realizes that if the aunt identifies the necklace it will go hard with him. He tries many ruses to recover the gems before her arrival, and to prevail upon Nell to wash her face. Ben's suspicions are aroused. He does a little detective work, the guilty Austin is exposed, and Nell takes refuge in Ben's arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
