The Trouble with Ruth

Despite her best attempts, a kleptomaniac falls back into her old ways and is found out by some thieves. They blackmail her to rob a diamond pin or they will reveal her true nature to her husband.

Following her latest detainment for shoplifting, Ruth, a young woman with a history of kleptomania, is confronted by two men who claim they will jeopardize her husband’s job if she doesn’t steal a diamond pin and turn it over to them. Ruth learns, however, that her husband has already explained about her kleptomania to his supervisors.

A woman who can't stop stealing tries to change her ways, but she gets caught by some crooks. The criminals force her to steal a valuable diamond pin by threatening to tell her husband about her stealing problem.
