He Who Rides a Tiger plot
Peter Rayston has been a revolving door criminal for most of his life. He is thirty and has already been released from prison for the eighth time after serving a sentence for trespassing. He immediately goes back to his old way of life, which must be financed. Rayston does this by stealing jewels. He ventures into higher circles to gain knowledge about possible victims of his actions. Everything runs smoothly until Peter gets to know a girl among his victims, who not only turns out to be penniless, but with whom he also falls in love.
