Synopsis

Martin Ross and his East Indian servant Sima poison Mrs. Dean, whose money and pearls are left to her little daughter Elsie. Ross, who is the executor of the estate, spends all of the money with the willing assistance of a seductress named Fanette, but manages to retain the priceless pearls. When Elsie reaches the age of eighteen, she learns that she is penniless and formulates a plan to retrieve the jewels with the aid of her boyfriend, William Gavin, Jr. Posing as "Madame Rama," a seer, Elsie sets Ross against Fanette, who has taken the pearls from their hiding place. When he confronts Fanette, she kills him and frames William for the crime. William is arrested, but "Madame Rama" tricks Fanette into confessing her guilt in the presence of several detectives. With Fanette and Sima behind bars, the pearls are restored to Elsie, who embarks on a new life with William.
