He chances to look out of his window, where his apartment overlooks a corner of a park. He sees a woman beautifully gowned and as he watches, a man, villainously black-bearded, seizes her by the arm. The woman attempts to free herself in vain. She draws a revolver, but the quick hand of her assailant snatches it from her grasp. The woman is seized and bundled into a waiting taxicab. Dick Barrows rushes to the scene of action. The taxicab has gone. But on the grass Dick discovers a dainty vanity-box which the woman had dropped in her struggles. The box contains an assortment of rare and priceless jewels. Dick is convinced that there has been foul play. He notifies the police and again looks out of the window. The taxicab has returned. The bearded man is searching for something. Again Dick rushes to the scene, arriving as the taxicab is speeding away. Dick follows on foot, running as fast as he can. Then he seizes a small boy's bicycle and pursues the fleeing taxi. It stops in front of a skyscraper. The man alights and hurriedly enters. Dick follows. In a room high over the street, he comes upon the bearded man and the smartly gowned woman. She is handcuffed. Dick is impelled with a desire to rescue her, when the disclosure is made that the bearded man is a detective and that the beautiful woman is none other than a notorious jewel thief. Dick hands over the vanity-box to the detective, the last link in the chain of evidence against the woman is forged. She is hurried away to her fate while Dick returns to his home.
