- Andre Perigourd, a dress maker, is Wallingford's next victim. Violet buys a dress from Perigourd, only to find out that it is a cheap, illegal copy of a designer's original. A burglar breaks into Wallingford's house and just happens to have Perigourd's address on him. Wallingford enters the dress shop pretending to be a customer, and Blackie Daw follows him and gives him $1,000 for his $150 investment. Perigourd asks to be let in on such a profitable investment, and Wallingford lets him in for $100,000. But Perigourd quickly realizes that he has been swindled and gets the police. However, Wallingford lets Perigourd know that with their arrest the fact will come out that Perigourd has been making illegal dresses. Perigourd gives in and once again the Warden girls get their revenge.—anonymous
- Through a burglar whom they have cornered, J. Rufus Wallingford and Blackie Daw learn of a very likely prospect for their endeavors. And, better still, said prospect, they learn from the Warden girls, was in the clique that caused the downfall of old man Warden. They learn that their man, Perigord by name, works in a modiste's shop and makes pocket money by allowing cheap dressmakers to copy the latest modes. Violet purchases one of the gowns and is surprised the next day to see several imitations on the street. She has Daw go after Perigord, and while Blackie is in the shop J. Rufus enters and hands him $1,000, his share of the profits on his investment of $150. The victim stares at him wild-eyed. From then on it is easy. Perigord begs to be "let in on" the scheme which brings over 500 per cent, and after a time is accepted. His first offer is small, but he is requested to hand over not less than $100,000 the next time. He does and is then informed that he has been wiped out. Getting a policeman, he rushes to the office of the master confidence men and demands their arrest. However, a note from Wallingford to the effect that their arrest will mean the divulging to the modiste that Perigord has stolen many thousands of dollars from the firm causes him to relent. Perigord's part in the ruin of old man Warden is avenged!—Moving Picture World synopsis
