After a long illness that had used up all his money, a man is told by his wife, who had been compelled to take service, of her employer's beautiful gems. The man had just received a note from his landlord telling him that he must either pay back rent or get out and he was worried. He falls asleep and a strange dream comes to him. He sees the gems all around him. They lead him to the apartment of his wife's employer and he breaks in and steals the gems. The woman and her maid, his wife, come in. He hides and his wife's voice wakes him and he realizes that he has stolen them. The maid, his wife, leaves the room and he comes out. The woman faints. The wife comes back, recognizes her husband and they bring the employer back to her senses and then the man faints. The wife tries to explain. The employer takes up the telephone. The spectators don't know that she isn't going to call the police and that the wife seems to understand. The change when we realize that she is calling for help to take the sick man home is effective. Miss Fuller plays the wife; Miss Nesbitt the employer, and Mr. Shaw the man. It might be made a feature; but it will surely serve as a good filler. - The Moving Picture World, February 17, 1912
