Midnight Molly Synopsis

Midnight Molly is trapped by police as she attempts to steal a painting. She escapes the detectives, but, while still on the lam, she is hit by a car, taken to a hospital, and erroneously identified as Mrs. John Warren, the wife of a prominent mayoralty candidate. Since the real Mrs. Warren, who is the exact image of Molly, has just run off with George Calvin, Warren is glad to identify Molly as his wife and take her home with him. Molly recovers and continues to impersonate Warren's wife, protecting him from the political consequences of a divorce scandal. Calvin learns of the deception, returns to the city, and attempts to blackmail Warren. He is not successful, but Detective Daley, who also suspects Molly's alias, requests her fingerprints. Forcing the real Mrs. Warren to return for fingerprinting, Molly is cleared of suspicion, and Daley closes the case. Mrs. Warren and Calvin are killed in an automobile accident, and Molly and Warren are free to marry.
