Plot: Hampton, a broker, employs a detective to investigate Stella, a show girl, with whom his younger brother Dick is in love. As a result of the detective's discoveries, Dick breaks his engagement with Stella. The woman calls at Dick's office late that afternoon. Hampton leaves the two alone. Unable to alter Dick's decision, Stella seizes a knife and threatens suicide. Dick tries to wrest the weapon from her and is accidentally killed. Stella flees in terror, dropping one of her gloves in her haste. In leaving the building, the show girl sees Hampton waiting outside for the interview to end. Seized by a diabolical idea, the woman summons a policeman and returns to the office, Hampton is found leaning over his brother's body. The man is placed under arrest. Missing her glove Stella later throws its blood-stained mate into an ashcan. Mary, wife of the accused man, finds the glove that had been dropped at the scene of the murder. Suspecting a foul plot, the woman resolves to run the real murderer to earth. Mary has befriended Rosie, the daughter of a ragpicker. While the girl is doing some sewing for the grief-stricken wife, she sees the show girl's glove lying on the table. Rosie mentions the fact that her father had found a glove greatly resembling the one on the table. When the ragpicker's daughter later brings the blood-stained glove her father had found, Mary discovers they are mates. The wife's chance comes when she learns that Stella is advertising for a maid. Ignorant of the applicant's identity, the show girl employs the wife of the man she has accused. Awaiting her opportunity, Mary places the gloves on Stella's dressing table. Detectives stationed in the nest room hear the show girl's cry of horror when she finds the tell-tale gloves. They place the murderess under arrest. Overcome, Stella confesses her crime.
