剧情简介: Margaret, the Mutual Girl, is found in the first scene of the third release in her boudoir, dressing for the day. Her aunt enters and they plan to again visit Lady Duff Gordon's establishment, the famous Luciles. The aunt tells Margaret that Count D'Orley, whom Margaret met at the Yale-Princeton game, will accompany them on the shopping tour. At the moment that this conversation is going on, detectives have surrounded the count's home and are waiting for him to emerge, believing him to be the leader of a clever gang of swindlers. Inside of the count's house, he is nervously reading a newspaper which has an account of the theft of the famous D'Rida necklace, which is thought to have been smuggled to America from France. The account states that the French government is co-operating with the American government in tracing the smugglers. The count flings the newspaper aside and hurriedly leaves the house and is followed by detectives. He goes immediately to the center of the white light district, Times Square, where he clandestinely meets two women who had arrived on the steamship several days previously, and as he passes them with scant recognition, one of them hands the stolen necklace to the count. From Times Square, he goes immediately to the home of Margaret, still followed by the detectives, and, in company with the two ladies, he goes shopping. The automobile of Margaret is followed by one containing government inspectors and the country boy. Arriving at Lucile's, the count discovers that he is being followed, and makes an excuse to remain in Margaret's automobile, while they enter the store. As soon, however, as they have gone, he hurriedly leaves the automobile and passes swiftly down the street, still followed by the detectives. The country boy returns to the dock to find that the steamship Mauretania has arrived, and becomes busily engaged in assisting Mme. Tetrazzini, the world-famous songbird, through the customs examination. Surprised at the absence of the count upon their exit, from Lucile's, Margaret and her aunt return home after a long drive, during which they pass the homes of Carnegie, Gerry, Rockefeller and the Vanderbilts. The count manages to elude the detectives by jumping over a fence and disappearing, and returns to his home, where he immediately sends a letter of apology to Margaret for his rudeness. A day later. Margaret and her aunt, joined by the count, dine at the Hotel Plaza. They are again followed by detectives, and the country boy is directing the shadowing. When Margaret emerges from the Plaza, the country boy races on foot after her automobile, and succeeds in climbing aboard from the back. The count, finding that he is in sudden danger, and still having the necklace in his possession, thrusts the jewels into Margaret's muff without her knowledge. The country boy grabs the count as the car stops and the detectives climb aboard and search him. They find nothing, and in a high state of indignation, the count leaves the automobile, vowing vengeance on the country boy. Margaret and her aunt return home unconscious of the jewels being in their possession.
