One Performance Only (1915)
Daring theft of priceless necklace executed in broad daylight, in prominent jeweler's office. Dwight Orme, a clever crook, determines to gain possession of a very valuable pearl necklace worn by Mrs. Heldmayer, a wealthy jeweler's wife, and secures an interview with "The Great Yaldo," an actor and impersonator., After "sounding" his man, Orme offers the actor $5,000 for one performance. Valdo's cupidity aroused, he consents to aid the crook. Orme calls on the jeweler at his office, renders him unconscious with the aid of a poisoned needle, then Valdo enters and quickly makes up to closely resemble the jeweler. The rest is easy. Jack Cheney, detective, is called into the case and after careful research, locates his men. He makes up as Heldmayer, then by the use of electrical effects, so frightens Valdo that he breaks down and confesses, implicating Orme. The pair are soon doing a "Double" at Sing Sing, on long-time engagement.
