The Girl Detective and her assistant, Warrington, endeavor to solve the mystery. They learn that the would-be murderer had made the attack while concealed behind the portieres hanging in front of the millionaire's library windows. The letters F.O.B.A. burnt in the handle of the knife, afford the first clue. The sleuths discover that Webster had received a missive signed by the "For Our Brothers Association," a few days previous to the assault. This letter ordered him to divide his wealth with his fellow men. The night after the Girl Detective consents to handle this case, Webster awakens to find a man in bis room. He shoots at the intruder, but the latter escapes. When the lights are turned on a message, warning Webster to obey the letter he had received, is found scrawled on the wall. Alarmed, the millionaire prepares to flee the city. At his request, the Girl Detective and Warrington accompany him. As the three are speeding away in Webster's auto, it is overhauled by another machine containing a number of armed men. The millionaire and the detectives are made prisoners and taken to the rendezvous of the F.O.B.A. Webster is ordered to sign a document in which he agrees to turn over the major part of his fortune to the organization. In the dispute which follows, the Girl Detective makes her escape. She returns shortly with a force of policemen and the desperadoes are captured just as the ringleader is about to slay Webster. The Girl Detective shoots the would-be murderer in time to save the millionaire's life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
