She buys an idol from him for a very large sum; afterwards, discovering that it's a fake, she is mortified at how easily she was buncoed. She goes to the Hindoo's rooms and demands that he return her money. Meanwhile, the police are on the track of the impostor. Akbar, greatly alarmed, puts Dorothy under the influence of an Indian narcotic, giving a note to the driver of Dorothy's car saying that he need not wait. The man drives home, where Bowden chances to call, recognizes the note as not being in Dorothy's handwriting, and immediately drives back to the Hindoo's quarters. He confronts the rogue just as he and his servants are on the point of leaving with the unconscious girl. Bowden is overpowered and bound. The police squad arrives, however, and the Asians are forced to make a hasty exit. A doctor who is called in to resuscitate Dorothy tells Bowden that only a Hindoo will know the antidote for the narcotic. He joins the police hunt. The Hindoo's automobile is plunged down a steep embankment, killing the two servants and mortally injuring Akbar. Bowden rushes him back in time--just barely--to produce the antidote before he dies.
