Synopsis
Yukio, the son of an American father, Admiral John Milton, and a Japanese mother, Saki San, is reared in Japan by an old man who tells him that Milton was responsible for Saki San's suicide. Determined to avenge her death, Yukio sails to America, where he becomes involved with a beautiful adventuress named Edna Kingston. Edna asks Yukio to obtain some papers from Milton in return for her love, but after he gives her the documents, she rejects him. His shame is heightened when he discovers that she heads a gang of German spies, and, in a furious struggle with the entire group, he retrieves the papers. Milton bursts into the room with the police and rescues his son, after which he welcomes the young man into his home. Milton explains that he always loved Saki San, and Yukio joins the army to fight for the American cause.
