The Adventures of a Girl Reporter (1914)
The Moores' famous collection of jewels seems to have been stolen, and Tom Wall, a "Clarion" reporter, is assigned to cover the story, but Mr. Moore declines an interview. His suspicions are aroused by Mrs. Moore's attitude, particularly when he observes Carl Clement, a gentleman crook, entering the Moore home. He reports to his editor and suggests that Ethel, the society reporter, be assigned to the case and that she gain admission to the Moore house in the capacity of a maid. Ethel has little trouble in securing the position of maid, as one has been recently discharged. She discovers that Clement has Mrs. Moore under his influence, that she has lost enormous sums of money to him and to cover this up and keep Clement from informing her husband, she has turned over the jewels to him and pretended that they were stolen. Ethel telephones the facts to Tom. Her conversation is overheard by Clement who succeeds in drawing her from the house on a fake message and capturing her. With the aid of his gang he takes her to his rooms on the East Side, where he makes her a prisoner. Ethel, after clever maneuvering, manages to escape with the jewels in her possession. She informs the police, who raid the den, arrest the crooks, and apprehend Clement himself at the Moore home to which he has returned. It is Ethel who brings about the reconciliation of the Moores. She returns to her desk at the newspaper and gets out her "big story," And Tomis far from being jealous over her success--as it is said, love is blind.
