Un court métrage rare retrouvé avec un scénario de Tod Browning.
The theft of a sacred diamond band from a Hindoo shrine starts the action. Count Kotschkoff, who has stolen the band, soon finds that the Mystic Seer and the Mystic Doer are hot on his trail. To thwart them he asks the Widow Marrimore to keep the jewels for him. She wears the band as a garter and at a dance it drops off, to be picked up by Alonz Evergreen, a middle-aged actor, who still aspires to be the juvenile. He does no work and lives on the daily touches he is able to obtain from his hard-working son. Evergreen, who believes himself in love with the widow, reads an advertisement for the return of the jewels. He aims to increase his favor with the widow by sending back the band. He has wrapped it up in an affectionate note when his son's fiancée enters the office on her way home from a shopping tour. When she departs she takes all the bundles in sight. Alonzo discovers his loss and goes in mad pursuit
