A young woman in a theft ring falls for the district attorney

A young women is part a jewel theft ring, but opts out of a robbery because guns will be used. A man gets killed in that operation and the district attorney convicts an innocent man.

They meet at a resort and fall in love, but she leaves him when called back to business. When the ring leader turns on her, she and the district attorney break up the ring and save the condemned man.

Better than average for this sort of thing.

Artful and Entertaining

This is a short, zippy silent film from late in the period, and it shows. Artfully done and thoroughly entertaining, it made a great finale to Capitolfest 17 in 2019.

Bessie Love is a crook. She disguises herself as an old woman and attends an estate sale which includes a famous and expensive string of pearls. By replacing the beads with paste, she slips out of the gathering and into a waiting taxi without being detected immediately. Seeing her transform from old woman to flaming youth is a sight to behold.

Gustav von Seyfertitz is her mentor, the leader of a gang of successful criminals. It isn't a surprise they get away with it considering Edgar Kennedy is the bumbling detective. However, the DA (Oscar Shaw), becomes interested in breaking up the crime ring and he is much more proficient. His interest in Love throws an additional wrench into the plot.

The photography is gorgeous. A swimming sequence that places the camera in the water with the two lovebirds is especially impressive. If you get a chance to see it, do!
