A party of wealthy Americans visit the shop in search of genuine Paisley shawls. The art dealer has none, but if the customers will return he will inquire from his London agent. La Croix learns that the Burkes, Old Forks, County Cork, Ireland, have a few genuine Paisleys in their possession. La Croix and his wife set out for Ireland. They visit the home of Terry and his old mother, and examine and learn the hiding-place of the Paisleys. That night they enter the house and steal the entire collection. The following morning the old woman discovers that they have been robbed. Near the strong box Terry finds a vanity card case, upon which is inscribed, "Mme. La Croix. Objets d'Art, Paris." He and his mother leave for Paris. In the meantime the Americans have called at the art store, examined the shawls and left a deposit on them. Terry and his mother enter. He shows La Croix the vanity card case and demands the return of the shawls. At this moment the party of Americans enter the shop. La Croix puts on a bold front, and tries to drive Terry from the shop. Terry takes up a chair with which to strike the thief. A false bottom falls out and the stolen shawls are revealed.
