The Englishman, Davis, learns the story of the fatal gem from a native fakir, or wise man, but will not permit himself to be alarmed by superstitious tales. Not long after, he goes away, leaving his wife and baby in the care of a trusted Hindoo servant. However, the servant has seen the diamond, and loyalty giving way before greed, he plots with a bandit chieftain to rob the Englishman of the gem. The diamond is found, and the two Indians quarrel for its possession. In the struggle, a lamp falls into a barrel of gunpowder, blowing up the house. The Englishman, who has turned back, sees the building fall, but reaches the place in time to rescue his wife and child. The servant and the bandits are found dead. Then Davis takes the diamond and hurls it into the sea. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
