The house is beautifully decorated and one of the features is the antique room. In this room stands a figure in a suit of armor of value. During a skylarking between the butler and maid this figure is knocked over and broken. In terror the butler, fearful of the consequences, rushes out to get someone to stand in the suit instead. Happy Jack, the rover, passing by at the time, takes the job on the promise of a good feed. There have been a couple of sneak thieves operating in society circles, and they, learning of the affair, plan to attend. In evening suits, they present themselves and while the butler is engaged with one of them, the other pilfers two invitation cards, which gain them admittance. The daughter is presented by her father with a beautiful diamond and pearl necklace. During the evening the crooks nip it, and going to the antique room to examine their spoil, espy an open safe. This is easy, and they at once begin to help themselves. This is done under the eye of Jack, whom they think a stand of armor. When their work at the safe is about complete. Jack discloses himself, holds them up and hands them into custody. You may imagine his reward now amounts to something more than a feed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
