Fred Hopkins, a jeweler's assistant, replaces the pearl necklace Lord Reading bought as a wedding present with a worthless imitation.

Hopkins, who is convicted, then commits suicide for fear of being punished with poison.
Das Grand Hotel Babylon Synopsis
An American millionaire and his daughter Nella are staying at the supremely exclusive Grand Babylon Hotel. When Nella asks for a steak and Bass beer for dinner the order is refused. To get her what she wants her father buys the entire hotel, for £400,000 "and a guinea". Now strange things begin to occur at the hotel.
"Whitechapel" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Das Grand Hotel Babylon" offers its own unique cult appeal.
