Synopsis:
A thief breaks into Dian Belmont's home and steals a pair of her gloves. He leaves behind an amber apple which leads Dian to Claudia Norgan. When Dian's glove later turns up at the scene of a gold robbery, she comes under suspicion.

The Sandman learns that Norgan is the leader of the gold bandits. He confronts the gang, but Claudia tries to make her escape with the gold. The Sandman and Dian catch her and retrieve Dian's other glove to protect her from suspicion.
