Summary

Mazie lends her gold necklace to her friend Nellie, who loses it. She and her boyfriend, Sam, look for it in vain. Sam, thinking it belongs to Nellie, promises to replace it, and she describes it to him in detail. Meanwhile, the necklace has been found and returned it to Mazie. Sam sees it on Mazie (whom he does not know is Nellie's friend). He insists on buying it from her, and gives it to Nellie, who, of course, returns it to Mazie. Sam again sees Mazie wearing the necklace, and thinks she has stolen it. His valet, taking the matter in hand, snatches the necklace off the astonished Mazie, who runs for the constable. They all converge on Sam, who is returning the necklace to the confused Nellie. With everyone assembled, all is explained and peace is restored.
