Plot
The story revolves around a young woman named Lenore Vance (Mabel Forrest), who commits a series of robberies due to being brainwashed by an elderly, reclusive, chemist named Fargo (Marc Mac Dermott). She later becomes the person of interest in the murder of an innocent man named Silas Gregg (William H. Turner). A physician named Dr. Richard Taunton (Norman Kerry) meets Lenore at a party, and becomes infatuated with her. After discovering that Lenore has taken one of his jewels, he uses a piece of evidence left behind to investigate the crimes himself, and makes the discovery that Fargo is Silas Gregg's killer. The police are notified, but they discover that he has committed suicide upon arriving at his house. It is later revealed to the audience that the entire story is in a book that Lenore is reading.

Reception
The film received high praise for its' casting upon release. C.S Sewell of The Moving Picture World writes: "Norman Kerry is well cast as the young physician and Marc McDermott is effective as the master-criminal. Mabel Forrest does good work as the girl. The remainder of the cast is satisfactory." One reviewer from Variety says: "Mabel Forrest can act, and does so with skill and intelligence. Then there's Marc McDermott, a character actor who classes with the very best of the screen's handful of the good ones. Norman Kerry gives a dignified portrayal of the M.D., and the contributory parts are unusually well played."
