The Diamond Nippers (1914) Online

Schultz and Stein arrive at Far-away Beach for a week's end with their wives. The two hubbies immediately head for the hotel bar, leaving their wives to rave. Well aware of the reception awaiting them at the hotel they seek to soothe their wives by purchasing for each a diamond necklace from a street faker. The police have been warned to be on the watch for a pair of notorious diamond nippers, Stella and Steve, a reward for whose capture is offered. This pair of thieves spot Schultz and Stein's wives wearing the supposed valuable necklaces at the hotel lawn party and scheme to rob them. Stella then lures Schultz and Stein out for a row in order to leave the coast clear for Steve. Steve secures the necklace but in doing so, bungles the job. The police corner him on the end of the pier and, desperate, he flings the jewelry down to Stella, who happens to be rowing by with Schultz and Stein. The jewelry, however, falls into the ocean and Stella to recover it sets her two ardent admirers ...

Max Asher and company appear In this low comedy number, which is a very good one of its type. The fun comprises a chase after a diamond thief who dives into the water from a roof top. The water stunts are funny and this is a pleasing offering of the slapstick kind. - The Moving Picture World, August 22, 1914
