Shams of Society

Although her husband is wealthy, he's also cheap, and Helen Porter often finds herself in the embarrassing position of running out of cash while out and about. One day she accompanies a friend to a gambling hall which is run out of the back of a dress shop. She loses what money she has, then borrows more and loses that, and is finally forced to hock her jewels to Milton Howard in order to pay her debts. Howard gets her to steal a valuable jewel at a society reception. Complications ensue.
