- Synopsis
- Kent Mortimer has been financially ruined, and while attending a dress ball with his fiancee, Adele Hoyt, he tells her that he must sell his household goods to pay off his debts. Adele cooly breaks the engagement, and returns all his gifts except for a string of pearls which she drops when she enters her cab. Mary Stevens, a woman of the underworld, snatches the pearls and flees, with the police in close pursuit. She sees an open door in a house she passes, and takes refuge inside. The home is that of Mortimer, and she learns that the pearls really belong to him. Mary gets a job as a waitress, and one day Mortimer wanders into the restaurant where they meet again. He begins to see Mary regularly, and Stoop Connors, one of Mary's fellow gang members, gets jealous and shoots Mortimer in the arm. Mary helps him home, but learns that his rent is unpaid and that he is to be evicted. She takes two of the pearls to a fence, Fadem, and gives the money to Mortimer's landlady. Fadem and Stoop search Mary's room trying to find the rest of the pearls, but she is carrying the pearls on her. Mortimer learns of Mary's true past life and orders her out of his life. Mary sends the pearls back to Adele who, in turn, returns them to Mortimer. He goes off in search of Mary to ask her forgiveness, but Fadem and Stoop have captured Mary and are trying to force her to tell where the pearls are. Mortimer breaks in just as they are choking her to death, he attacks the men, and a terrible fight follows. Mary slips from the room and calls the bartender from the cafe below, a huge brute who worships Mary, and he arrives in time to help Mortimer.
