Synopsis
Playwright Harry Larrabee unwittingly becomes the leading figure in a theft aimed at Carolyn Vaughn, the young woman living down the hall with whom he is in love. Carolyn's acquaintance, Madame Batonyi, is coerced by a thug called The Wolf to visit Carolyn and ask to see her jewels. The Wolf then enters the apartment by a dumbwaiter and drugs Carolyn with chloroform. His plans go awry when Harry overhears the crime being committed and spirits Carolyn away in a taxicab to the house of his friend Dr. Wendell, where she is revived with a pulmotor. The mystery of the missing jewels is then finally unraveled when The Wolf and his accomplice Dr. Stettina kill one another in a gun duel, and Madame Batonyi confesses that The Wolf was her husband who had viciously forced her into a life of crime.
