Grant investigates and learns that Marvelo is the name given the mechanical chess player at Sledin's Museum. He visits the museum and seeking to force his man to uncover his hand, leaves a note on the table when he is unobserved. The note reads, "Be on your guard; you are watched." The ruse is successful, and Grant, following Prof. John Atwood, the man inside the dummy, when he seeks to make his escape, soon finds himself in the midst of a puzzling case. Atwood is an anarchist, with a fiendish plan to stop the war by blowing up a string of ammunition cars along the New York waterfront. With Secret Service operatives Grant succeeds in frustrating the plan in the nick of time. A motorboat pursuit results in the capture of Atwood and his accomplices.
