Presently the father. Mr. Von Bellen, a chemist, enters, sits at the table in deep thought. Suddenly he jumps up, goes to the laboratory, closes and locks the door, then goes through the process of making diamonds, finishing by taking several from the condenser. He rushes excitedly from the laboratory into the living room and shows the diamonds to his wife and daughter. They cannot believe them genuine, so Von Bellen takes one, gives the others to his wife and starts out to dispose of the gem. He walks down the street until he comes to the office of a diamond broker, where he enters. The dealer examines the stone, is satisfied of its genuineness and buys it. He is, however, somewhat suspicious and sends his clerk to follow the old chemist. Von Bellen returns home, gives the money to his wife, then goes to his laboratory and makes a still larger diamond. The clerk watches the process through the window, returns to his employer and reports and they determine to wreck the laboratory. While the chemist is out shopping the clerk enters through the window and smashes the different implements into pieces. When Ton Bellen returns and finds his place in ruins he is almost frantic. The wife and daughter enter and console him, saying that they have money and diamonds enough left to make them rich. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
