She is pleased with it. Brooks goes to the safe in his library to lock up the priceless gem, while his wife attends to the details of his luggage, Mr. Brooks intending to make a short business trip out of town. Upon going into the library, Mrs. Brooks finds her husband taking some papers from his desk, which he then locks. He now bids his wife goodbye and tells her he will be back by midnight. Croaky and Slim, two crooks, recognize Brooks as he boards the train at the depot and they recall a newspaper article which told of Brooks' purchase of a valuable diamond. The crooks plan to meet that night at Brooks' home. Croaky covets the diamond for himself and, to carry out his scheme, buys a fake diamond. The crooks gain entrance to Brooks' home and force Mrs. Brooks to open the safe, but not before she has had time to get word to the police, who arrive at the house just as the crooks are making their escape. Croaky has given Slim the fake diamond, which he purchased for the purpose, and Slim, thinking to double-cross Creaky, gives him the slip, only to be caught by the police. A detective examines the supposed stolen gem and pronounces it an imitation. Slim, angered at being duped, tells the police of the place where Croaky will dispose of the diamond. The detective catches Croaky in the act of selling the diamond and learns to his surprise that it is only paste. He places Croaky under arrest. Mr. Brooks returns home to his hysterical wife and upon learning that the safe has been robbed, he laughingly consoles her, and going to his desk, he unlocks the drawer and takes out the genuine diamond.
