The Vaudry Jewels (1915)
The Secret Service has long been puzzled by the operations of Mrs. Vaudry, a fashionable crook, who has successfully eluded their efforts to get her "with the goods." The chief of the Secret Service details Dudley Crisp upon the case and admonishes him to leave no stone unturned in his effort to capture the clever woman. Crisp finds that Mrs. Vaudry makes repeated trips between Europe and America and that she invariably returns to Europe on the same boat by which she arrived. He further learns that she regularly advertises for a maid upon arriving at her hotel and that the maid is always the same person. He makes several attempts to get trace of the smuggled jewels upon Mrs. Vaudry's person or in her baggage, but without results. Crisp finally notices that the maid always accompanies Mrs. Vaudry on board as her ship is leaving, and that just before the time for sailing, leaves, apparently having bidden her mistress farewell. His suspicions fall upon the maid, and examining her, he recovers the jewel reported to have been smuggled. Crisp has succeeded in cultivating the acquaintance of Mrs. Vaudry and a mutual attraction for each other has sprung up. It is his duty to act, however, and, having learned that Mrs. Vaudry and her accomplice, the maid, is with her, he goes to her stateroom just before the ship sails, confronts her with his discovery. He learns the clever method by which the jewels have been concealed in a small hole under the rug in the stateroom, and then handed over to the maid for disposal just before sailing. After a struggle with himself, Crisp decides to allow the woman he has come to love to escape. She is pleased with his magnanimous offer, but realizes that his honor is at stake and surrenders herself to the authorities. After one year the two are reunited.
