Although warned by a confederate that the hand of the law is about to grasp him, Jabbs refuses to leave. Pokes, a secret service man, who is delegated to watch Jabbs, saves Mabel from death at the peril of his own life. Jabbs, however, claims the credit for the rescue and later entices Mabel to come to his office. Once he has Mabel inside the office, Jabbs drops his mask and attacks the girl. Pokes on guard outside hears the noise of the struggle and the screams of the girl and dashes into the waiting room. He finds his way to the private office barred, but nothing daunted, Pokes batters down the doors, and enters the private office. In the private office Jabbs, hearing the hammering on the doors, throws Mabel into a back room and now awaits Pokes' rush. The two men clinch and a struggle ensues during which both Pokes and Jabbs fight for the possession of a knife. Locked in a death-like clinch the fighting men roll out of the window and off the roof to the yard below. Eluding Jabbs again, Pokes risks his life once more and reaches the room where Mabel is confined. Just as Jabbs enters the room Pokes seizes Mabel in his arms and dives out of the window into a passing machine. Inside the room, Jabbs is raging as Robin, another secret service man posing as a butler in Jabbs' office, clamps the handcuffs on the ruthless villain, while in the car Pokes now discloses his identity to Mabel, and wins his just reward.
