The Shell Game plot

Acting on his belief that most people become sentimental at Christmastime and are therefore easy prey, New York confidant "Silk" Wilkins ingratiates himself with millionaire Lawrence Gray, whose wife and daughter Zelda died in a flood eighteen years earlier. After promising to find Gray's daughter, "Silk" returns to his boardinghouse, where he finds Alice Sheldon attempting to escape her desperate financial straits by committing suicide. "Silk" convinces Alice to pose as Zelda Gray, then informs Lawrence in a note tucked in an almond shell that he has found the lost daughter.
