A poor man steals a loaf of bread to feed his family, not knowing there's a stolen diamond hidden inside.
The butler, a Raffles, stole the necklace, but cornered, he hid it. Fate gave it to a poor man and the clever Raffles had him arrested and convicted. But fate also brought happiness to the poor man for through his sorrow fate convicted the butler and made society recognize its injustice to the poor man.—Moving Picture World synopsis
