His first attempt at burglary nets him the famous Allison pearls and a most unexpected acquaintance with Florence Allison, whose home is about to be broken up through the neglect of her husband. Jim recalls his own lost happiness, and prompted by deep sympathy, he suggests a plan to restore her husband's love. In gratitude, Florence insists that Jim shall keep the pearls, which he does, only on condition that he shall return them in six months in case his plan shall have failed. The husband, upon returning after a night out with the boys, finds Florence bound and unconscious, and realizes that his neglect has placed her life in jeopardy. The shock rekindles his dormant love and Florence regains her happiness. The trust makes Jim face life from a new angle. To protect the pearls and make good his word of honor to a trusting woman becomes the ruling passion of his life. He faces and overcomes temptations to dispose of the pearls. Down on his luck, he drifts back to the old rendezvous, where one of the gang who has long suspected Jim has the pearls, determines to have them. In a fight which ensues Jim is injured and drags himself to the Allison home to redeem his pledge, as he believes his plan has failed. He finds Florence happy in the possession of her husband's love and receives from her his just reward. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
