Gentleman Joe (1912)
Tom Gordon, who has been spending some weeks as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Blake, parents of Alice, to whom he is engaged, is about to return home. Bidding Alice goodbye, he notices that her bracelet is not fastened, and she tells him the clasp is broken and asks him to take it to the city for repairs. The night of Tom's return, "Gentleman Joe," burglar of the Raffles type, starts upon an expedition and happens into Tom's apartments. Tom, hearing the noise, determines to investigate and, entering the room, confronts the burglar. Holding the latter at bay with a revolver, Tom starts to telephone for the police, Just as he gets the message through, "Gentleman Jim" hurls a large stein at Tom, which strikes him a stunning blow on the head. The two men clinch, when much to the burglar's surprise. Tom releases his hold and, with vacant stare, laughs. Joe is quick to realize that the blow upon Tom's head has affected his reason and loses no time in exchanging coats with him. When the police rush into the room, Joe hands Tom over as the burglar while he coolly watches them take him away. Tom is locked in a cell to await trial, unable to explain who he is or where he came from. In the meantime, Alice concludes that Tom has proven false to her. A friend invites her to visit her in the city and Alice accepts. One night after her arrival, she meets "Gentleman Joe" who, as one of the invited guests, is looking for plunder. Joe is much impressed with the fair young woman and determines to give her a present. In looking over his miscellaneous plunder, he selects the bracelet he had secured the night of the fight. When he gives it to Alice, she recognizes at once as the bracelet she had given to Tom and hurriedly leaving the burglar, she hastens to advise her friend of what has happened. A visit to the police station results in a clearance of the mystery. Tom's memory is restored in him and "Gentleman Joe" at last finds himself in the hands of the police.
