“The Fox, an accomplished gentleman crook, worked through the fake jewelry shop of an old fence named Abraham. Millionaire Benton, with a mania for rare jewels, goes to Abraham and purchases an exquisite necklace. He is seen by the Fox, who follows him to his home. Arriving home, Benton finds his daughter and Bob Newell making love in the garden. He angrily sends Bob from the premises. At home Bob calls up Louise Benton and they plan to elope. That afternoon Rose Hartley, a chum of Louise, and addicted to sleepwalking, arrives at the Benton house. Benton, alone in his library, calls the two girls to see the gorgeous jewel. Rose is much impressed and goes to bed with the memory of its beauty still in her mind. At ten o’clock that night the Fox creeps toward a side window of the Benton residence. He is suddenly stopped by the sound of footsteps and sees Bob Newell go to the window and call. The window is opened by Louise, who calls softly to him, “Get a taxi, dear.” Bob nods and disappears. A few moments later the Fox, bent on mischief, whistles softly, the window opens, and Louise hurls her own jewel case down to the Fox, whispering that she will follow a minute later. Meanwhile things have happened in the big house. Rose Hartley, dreaming of the jewel, goes to Benton’s library in her sleep and removes the wonderful necklace. The noise awakens Benton, who rushes to the library, finds his jewel gone, and phones the police. In the garden, meanwhile, the Fox has tucked away the jewels that Louise gave him and strolled slowly away, calmly puffing a cigarette. Bob Newell, returning, finds the empty jewel box and is nabbed by the police and carried away to jail, Benton hurling accusing statements after him. Louise is afraid to tell her own father that her own jewels are gone, but, of course, cannot understand why Bob did not return them to her. REEL TWO.— The Fox, having quite unconsciously acquired Louise’s jewels, is now intent upon obtaining the famous necklace sold Benton by the crafty Abraham. He goes, disguised as a French Count, bearing forged letters of introduction, and is taken in by the Benton family. Here he meets and falls madly in love with Louise, despite himself. Rose Hartley, her friend, again walking in her sleep, takes the precious necklace from her suitcase and returns it to the secret hiding place in Benton’s library, just as the Fox, intent upon getting it, is rifling the library drawer. When she disappears the Fox takes the jewel to his room. In the days that follow he makes violent love to Louise, who avoids him. In desperation the Fox follows Benton to Abraham’s dive, where Benton has gone to find out something concerning his lost jewel, and accuses Benton of connivance with the Jew. He compromises with Benton when Benton promises to aid him in the suit for Louise’s hand. A stormy interview follows and Louise finally decides to seek out the Fox and promise to marry him. The Fox, listening to the interview from behind the curtains of Benton’s library, is seized with remorse. If he cannot have this woman of her own free will he does not want her. Hence, when she offers herself to him the Fox refuses the sacrifice, for his soul has begun to stir within him. He promises Louise that he will leave on the morrow. That night the sleepwalking Rose rises from her bed and goes straight to the room of the Fox. The noise of a breaking lamp awakens Benton, who, revolver in hand, follows her. On the veranda the Fox strolls up and down in thought until, startled by the noise, he hurries to his room, only to confront Benton, Louise and Rose. In an instant the Fox has slipped out of the house, Louise following. He throws her a kiss and vanishes. Ten minutes later he had thrown old Abraham into the corner, phoned the police to release Bob, tenderly kissed the rose which Louise had once given him, and the incidents of the Benton jewel mystery became a memory.” - Moving Picture News, June 7, 1913, p.26
