William Jameson engages Bryce, a detective, to investigate several mysterious robberies which have occurred in one of his stores. Suspicion is thrown by Guy Manse, the manager, upon Jack Kent, a young clerk, whose duty is to open and close the safe, and with Manse's help the detective manages to entrap the clerk and secure evidence against him. Kent is sent to jail. Mary Ball, his sweetheart, alone believes in his innocence. Also, she is conscious that Manse covets her. She watches the manager closely, and one day sees him drop a pawn ticket. Quickly she notes the number and name of the pawnbroker. The manager recovers the ticket without knowing that he has betrayed himself. Mary locates the stolen jewels and puts the detective upon the right track. Kent is absolved and the manager punished.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
