Meeting pampered heiress Frances (Grace Kelly), he sees a chance to bait the mysterious thief with her mother's (Jessie Royce Landis) fabulous jewels. His plan backfires, however, but Frances, who thinks him guilty, proves her love by helping him escape. Winner of Best Cinematography, Color at the **Academy Awards**.
