The story

Industrial chemist Roger Drummond invents a new formula for paint. In short-term need of money, he borrows some cash from a handbag he finds, and later returns the money, but in then meantime a valuable necklace has been stolen from the bag by a thief, and Drummond is charged with the theft by the bags's owner, Marion Ashley, niece of his employer. Drummond is found guilty and is sent to prison, and in his absence his colleague George Marston steals the paint formula.
