Synopsis
Jealous of the attention his wife Virginia receives at a seaside resort, and desiring to know how far her flirtation with Henry Harding has gone, George Conklin returns to New York to hire a detective. When he finds a pretty girl in his house, however, who the police identify as the criminal, Philadelphia Mary, George tells them that she is the niece he was expecting, and makes her agree to spy on Virginia. The girl, who calls herself Betty McCarthy, becomes friendly with Virginia and falls in love with her brother, ardent Billy Kent. Virginia, incensed at her husband's jealousy, plans to elope with Harding, who, Betty discovers, is only interested in Virginia's jewels. After the police arrest Harding when Betty tells them that he has the Conklins' jewels, Betty and Billy marry. Harding is released when Betty confesses she substituted candy for the jewels, the Conklins are reconciled, and Betty reveals that she really is George's niece.
