Synopsis

Eben Lamont, an eccentric chemist who has discovered a powerful new explosive, wants to turn his discovery over to the government, even though he has been approached by Richard Leslie, the president of an explosives company. Fearing that his secret will be stolen, Lamont tattoos part of the formula in invisible ink on his daughter Grace's shoulder. Learning of this, August Mason, a secret agent for a foreign nation, kills Lamont, kidnaps Grace, and hypnotizes her. Though rescued by Leslie, Grace is then kidnapped by Tony, another member of the gang. After a series of dangerous turns, in which Grace is the pawn of various groups, she is rescued by Leslie, with whom she falls in love. Mason is annihilated by an explosion, and the secret formula is safely given to the government.
