The theme centers about a peculiar method of blackmail practiced by Count Seroff, an apparently wealthy and influential Parisian. The count owns a magnificent diamond rose, which, he claims, was given him in reward for a service performed by an East Indian Rajah.

In these two reels there is a story that will find interest. It is of a man who has a bogus gem which he shows to the sons of rich men, at the same time indicating how the article can be revealed to view and, of course, possession secured.
