- Micky Weston, a crook, sees Harding admiring a pair of priceless porcelain vases on exhibition at the museum. When the millionaire departs, Weston follows him. Marie and Mears receive word the following morning that the vases have been stolen. An hour or two after they tackle the case, Weston is arrested as the result of a saloon brawl. A card bearing Harding's address is found in the crook's pocket. At Marie's suggestion, Weston is treed. She and Mears trail him. Late that night, the investigators see him break into Harding's home. Marie and Mears follow the crook into the mansion and capture him. They find Harding bound and gagged. The sleuths catch the collector in the act of begging Micky to keep silent. The crook, however tells his story. It appears that he had attempted to hold Harding up after following him from the museum, but the millionaire turned the tables. He gave Micky his freedom and promised him $5,000 upon condition that the crook steal the vases he had coveted. Although Weston carried out his end of the agreement, Harding, after receiving the vases, drove the crook from his mansion. Rendered desperate by the thought of what awaits him, Harding attacks Mears before Marie can interfere. Micky, however, leaps upon the unscrupulous millionaire and saves the detective's life. Although Weston realizes he faces a long term, he chuckles with glee as Harding's wrist is shackled to his own.—Moving Picture World synopsis
