Wharton and Jones, employed by a foreign power, are eager to obtain possession of the device which embodies Bob's secret. To this end, the agents bribe Kagler, the inventor's assistant, to deliver this device up to them. Kagler knocks Bob unconscious and steals the invention. At the last moment, however, he determines to dispose of it himself. The man flees, pursued by Wharton and Jones. A shot fired after the fugitive strikes him in the arm. He is on the verge of being captured when chance leads Marguerite to his assistance. The girl takes Kagler to her home. There the thief tells the heiress of how the foreign agents had attacked Bob and himself in their attempt to steal the invention. Bob appears while Kagler is telling his story. At the sight of the traitor Bob advances to attack him. Kagler escapes by leaping out of the window. Wharton and his accomplice, who have trailed the man to Marguerite's home, see him coming. Again Kagler eludes their grasp. Furious, Jones shoots and slays the man. A moment later, Bob and Marguerite appear upon the scene and hold the agents at bay until the police, attracted by the shooting arrive. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
