Jacob Levi, an absent-minded diamond merchant, visits the home of Isaac Blum. While at dinner, Levi shows Blum a very valuable diamond. In a hurry Levi departs, forgetting the diamond. Blum finds the gem, and decides to keep it. Levi discovers his loss and returns to the house. Mrs. Blum hears a knock at the door and surmises that it is Levi. She drops the diamond in the soup. While the Blums are arguing at the front door with Levi, young Jacob Blum comes into the kitchen, starts to eat some soup, finds the diamond, and takes it out with which to play marbles. Blum returns to his dinner and not knowing where his wife has placed the stone, he finishes the soup. Levi suspects the Blums and he leaves for the police station. Mrs. Blum returns to the kitchen, and seeing her husband has finished the soup, thinks he has swallowed the diamond. A doctor is called, and he agrees to get the diamond out of Blum's system providing the gem is assigned to him. The Blums agree to this and the doctor is about to cut Blum open when Levi returns with the cops and the Blums and the doctor are arrested. On the way to the station house they meet Jacob shooting marbles with the diamond. The stone is returned to its owner, and Mrs. and Mr. Blum realize that honesty is the best policy.
