The girl arrives and Donatello takes her to his lodgings. Julia shows great talent as a violinist and Donatello secures for her a position in the orchestra at a fashionable restaurant in which he is playing. Unknown to Julia, Donatello is at the head of a band of crooks who make it a practice to steal from wealthy people. One night in the restaurant, Donatello steals a valuable necklace from a lady patron and places it in Julia's hair to escape detection. Frank Walsh, a man employed by the Secret Service is on the ground, and suspects the musician. He follows the two to their lodging and there, by a clever ruse, takes the place of one of the confederates. When Julia learns the true nature of her foster-father, she is shocked and determines to leave. He locks her up in a room but the next moment, Walsh enters followed by the police who capture the musician and his confederates and take them away. Walsh then liberates Julia and the two fall in love with each other, and after a short courtship are married. Written by
