He needs money for doctors for the boy, and also food and rent. Frances is the daughter of a foreign ambassador. With other workers from her church, she goes to the slums. She visits the garret in which Ben lives. He is out and she acts as a good Samaritan toward the poor sick brother and pays the rent. When Ben returns he is furious. He receives a visit from the head of the spies in this city, and Ben is offered food and money to act as a spy and refuses. The briber leaves. The girl returns and Ben is struck by her style and beauty. They talk and her sympathy with the brother wins his love. The next day war is declared between his native land and that of the girl's father. This time Ben volunteers to spy and get certain important papers that will be delivered at the girl's father's house. Ben does not know he is her father. That night the papers arrive. The ambassador puts them in his safe. Ben and the head spy enter the house when all are asleep and get the papers. The ambassador sees them and he and his servants fight with them. The ambassador and his servant are overpowered, the head spy is about to kill them when the daughter runs from her room and throws herself before her father. He recognizes the girl. He refuses to kill the ambassador. The head spy is about to leave with the papers when Ben, moved by the girl's appeal, fights for the papers. The light is overturned and they fight in the dark while the girl screams. Policemen enter. The lights are turned up. Ben is released; the other is arrested.
