Synopsis

American Curtis Prescott is employed by Van Brunn, an Amsterdam diamond merchant, to deliver the famous Kimberley diamond to London, where it will be set in the British crown. A gang of crooks boards the ship carrying Prescott, Scotland Yard detective Hemming, and Sylvia Carroll, a member of the Washington Secret Service. Sylvia falls in love with the young American who is robbed of the jewels and then accused by Hemming of being the master mind behind the robbery. After many thrilling adventures, which include Sylvia disguising herself as a New York millionairess and as a slum girl, she brings the true crooks to justice and exonerates Prescott.
