The Riddle of the Rings (1915)
Celeste, the manicurist summoned to Mrs. Celeste, the manicurist summoned to Mrs. Weed's room, admires the rings which the woman owns. Mrs. Weed, however, carelessly places them on the bed while Celeste prepares to manicure her nails. The woman interrupts the work with a request that Celeste summon Vincenzo and have him remove the breakfast tray. The Italian appears and carries the tray away. Immediately afterward, Mrs. Weed discovers her gems have disappeared. She accuses Celeste, but the girl's pleas impress Francis and Hilton with a belief in her innocence. Vincenzo is next suspected. Hilton enters the kitchen with Mrs. Weed. The latter finds one of her rings on the breakfast tray. Vincenzo, however, protesting his innocence, escapes. Mrs. Weed threatens to sue the management for the loss of her rings and is finally appeased when presented a check for their value. The house detectives watch the woman closely. Dranton calls and is shown to Mrs. Weed's room. Aided by a microphone, Francis and Hilton overhear her tell how she had tricked the hotel management. Peering through the transom, Hilton sees Mrs. Weed unscrew the ornate knob on the bedpost and remove the "stolen" rings.
