At last, in desperation, the chief of police sends for his friend, the famous sleuth, Detective Duck. While these two are sitting in conference, Raffles, in her search for loot, enters the home of Mrs. Gotta Millun. Raffles' eyes sparkle as she takes in with delight the rich Oriental knick-knacks and furnishings. Mrs. Millun is a connoisseur. Raffles hides under a table when Mrs. Millun comes in. Mrs. Millun has just received a gift from her brother in far-off India. It is a jewel case containing eight beautiful and rare pearls as large as hen eggs. In a note accompanying them her brother explains that the jewels were part of the loot of the Britishers when they raided Oski Wow Wow, and that they were taken from a famous Indian Princess who had sworn eternal vengeance on all who thereafter possessed them. This fact did not worry Mrs. Millun. Raffles secures a glimpse of the pearls. She manages to read the note accompanying them. Such magnificent pearls must not be allowed to go unstolen. A great scheme enters her mind. Raffles later appears before Mrs. Millun. She has disguised herself and is impersonating the Indian princess mentioned in the note. She tells Mrs. Millun that she has come for the pearls, which are rightfully her own. Mrs. Millun ejects the intruder. Then a note appears on Mrs. Millun's front door. It is from this supposed East Indian Princess. Its contents fill the good woman with dread apprehension. She phones the chief of police, who sends the famous Detective Duck, who, upon learning Mrs. Millun's story, hides the pearls in a tooth cavity, replacing them in the jewel case with hen eggs. That night, Raffles, still impersonating the East Indian Princess, appears again. She spots the famous detective and drugs his wine with a sleeping powder. He discovers her, however, and after a terrific tussle, manages to lock her in the vault. Feeling mighty good at his exploit he drinks his wine, after which he phones for the chief of police to come and see his prize. Then the sleeping powder takes effect. He is in the middle of a horrible nightmare wherein the supposed Indian Princess is treating him to an awful dose of scares when the chief arrives and awakens him after strenuous effort. Then the two dumbfounded men discover the vault wide open. The bird has flown. In the empty jewel case is a note containing these words: "Da safe opens from de inside, yer loon. Say, cutey. where did you hide those pearls? Never mind. I'll get 'em yet. Thanks for de breakfast food. Da Mysterious Female Raffles." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
