A former sweetheart becomes enraged, and after Moriot leaves the room she promises to "get even" with him. She reads in the paper that the notorious burglar, Louis Moriot, is still at large. Strange similarity of names. She immediately cuts it out and sends it to innocent Louis Moriot's fiancée's family with a letter of introduction. Meanwhile Louis Moriot is received by his future relatives, who are all well pleased with him. He and his affianced, Bertha, go for a walk. While they are out a letter is delivered. It is the one enclosing the clipping. Stupefaction. The uncle offers to act as spokesman for the family, but hardly had he tried to speak to Louis Moriot than he gets frightened and runs away, and poor Moriot cannot understand why everyone fears him. Meanwhile the uncle meets a policeman and explains everything to him. They arrest Moriot. Bertha tries to rescue her lover, but they take her away from the miserable man. She goes away and meets a newsboy, who is announcing the arrest of the notorious burglar, Louis Moriot, and his picture appears in the paper. It does not resemble Bertha's lover in the least. Louis is let free, but only forgives those who offended him through his love for Bertha. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
