Trebillie and two noted spies suspected of shadowing diplomatic attachés. Secret Service Sam was given charge, a congenial assignment as it enabled him to see Mayre, the girl he loved. Secret Service Sam had a non-commissioned aide in a boy who looked upon Sam as a composite of all the great detectives. The lad determined to do a little shadowing. One night he saw a scrubwoman enter the diplomatic building. The dash of diamonds on her white fingers convinced him she was a spy. The head scrubwoman suspected the newcomer, but a large bribe silenced her and as the watchman locked the doors, the spy got busy with the safe. The boy climbed the fire escape to better watch the spy. Suddenly looking up from her work, the woman saw the boy through the windows. Covering him with a revolver, she dragged him into the room. She bound and gagged him and thrust him into the wardrobe. Something was wrong with the combination, so she waited until morning to overpower the girl who opened the safe. In the morning Mayre arrived, and opened the safe. The spy silently stole away with the portfolio. When the chief arrived he accused Mayre of the theft. She protested her innocence. Sam the first to arrive was shocked to learn that his promised wife was suspected. Mayre was taken away to await action of the grand jury. Sam remained behind to gather clues. He summoned the scrubwoman and noticed the diamond ring of the female spy upon the rough finger of the head scrubwoman. He at once put her through the third degree, but could learn nothing. The female spy telephoned her success to her comrades, and tickets were engaged for a European steamer, but their auto broke down almost on the sailing hour. Sam heard the bound boy writhing in the wardrobe. Locking the door upon her he liberated the boy who fainted before he could tell of Mayre's innocence. The spies reached the wharf, but the steamer was gone. They hurriedly hired a motor boat to overtake it, and hastened full speed down the bay. When the boy regained consciousness, he told of the disguised spy, and the scrubwoman was put under arrest. Then Sara who had obtained a line on the spies, set off with the boy in a taxi. Hiring a tug the detectives set out in pursuit of the fast disappearing motor boat. One of the spies jumped overboard with the papers. Secret Service Sam leaped after him. There was a rough struggle in which Sam was victorious and he arrested the spies. Returning to the city, Sam reported to his chief who gave orders for Mayre's release. Sam got a promotion and the boy promised a great future as a secret service man. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
