Science student Nathan Hood, working on an experiment, discovers a formula that creates diamonds. In his excitement he drops the diamond as he leaves the lab, and it's found by the old janitor, Timothy Clarke. Clarke decides to keep it for himself but is found two days later with a bullet in his head. Once again the diamond is found, near Clarke's dead body, only this time by Brenda, and she takes the jewel to the wealthy diamond expert Karl Sivens for verification. Sivens offers her two hundred thousand dollars for it on the spot, but Brenda tells him it's not hers to sell.
