When Cupid Caught a Thief (1915)

Miss Hobbs is the possessor of a valuable necklace and the great Kickamoor ruby valued at thousands. Old Sleuth gets a tip from a reformed crook that Second Story Jerry and his gang are going to attempt to steal the jewels at a reception to be held in the Hobbs home. Eddie, the reporter, is sent to secure an interview with Miss Hobbs, but he does not succeed in doing so until the night of the reception, when he slips into the house along with the other guests. Jerry and his gang are on hand. While Eddie is interviewing Miss Hobbs Jerry slips the necklace from around her neck. The necklace is missed. Eddie is searched but is found not guilty. The necklace is, both by mistake and purpose, transferred from one person to another until complications arise. Second Story Jerry and his assistant, however, are finally captured by the daring young reporter, who returns the stolen jewels into the hands of Miss Hobbs' father.
