A tale of deception where a beautiful decoy uncovers her relatives' gambling racket and chooses love over loyalty.

Crime, Romance · 5/10 · 16 min · 1914

A rather complex interweaving of romance and crime is squeezed into one reel. A "respectable" couple of city "card sharpers" invite a distant country relative to visit, then use her as a pretty, unwitting decoy to lure rich victims. They flee town a step ahead of the law. At a resort, the innocent girl falls in love with the latest victim, but they help expose and apprehend the guilty parties.
