The diamond then passes to his friend Franklin Blake, who presents it to his fiancée, only for it to be stolen again, casting suspicion on a woman in love with him. The plot thickens as a doctor reveals Blake's sleepwalking tendencies, suggesting he may have taken the diamond himself while in a trance. Ultimately, the thief confesses before his death, allowing Blake and his fiancée to reunite.
