Details:

Cleo dons apron and cap and walks out into her garden. Mrs. Van Wert enters Norman’s studio and finds him painting. She orders him to go driving with her. As they pass Cleo’s residence Mrs. Van Wert tell Norman to wander about until she pays a visit. Norman comes to the fence as Cleo reaches out her hand for a flower. Their hands meet and he climbs up to see the owner. But Gentleman Joe appears and Mrs. Van Wert angrily calls Jack. Joe points out to Cleo that there are Mrs, Van Wert’s jewels that she so much wants. Cleo instructs Joe to trace the man’s whereabouts. On the following day she dresses as a widow and goes to Norman’s studio. His phone rings and Mrs. Van Wert asks Norman to invite a woman guest to her week-end party. After some persuasion, Cleo consents to go. At Mrs. Van Wert’s, while dancing with Norman, Cleo’s string of pearls falls to the floor. She begs Mrs. Van Wert to allow her to place them in her safe. She goes with her and watches the combination. Later Joe sees the numbers Cleo writes on the fence, robs the safe and is clambering down when he is struck and the loot taken from his pocket. Mrs. Van Wert finds the safe robbed. Cleo accuses Joe of not being on the level. She takes the gun and in their struggle fires. Norman gives the alarm for the police and hands Cleo a jewel case, asking her to keep it for him. When the police come, Norman says he did the shooting. Joe recovers and refuses to press the charge against Norman. Norman is released and goes to Cleo. He tells her Joe is a burglar and he, Norman has an admiration for her cleverness, and they had better join forces. Detectives are on his trail. Cleo sees in her mirror one of them. She gets the jewels and protests she doesn’t want to buy them before examining them. The detective leaves, and Cleo asks Norman to go straight, saying that she loves Joe.
