Synopsis
While in London, American press correspondent Guy Fenton meets Marion Overton through an accidental exchange of coats with her guardian, who is found slain. Some papers are discovered in the coat, and Fenton's friend, Drew, uncovers indications of a lost treasure of King James III of Scotland. Although Fenton is threatened by the Miltimores and made prisoner in their house, he escapes by a secret trapdoor. After a series of adventures, Fenton is rescued by Drew, who pretends to be a chauffeur for the bandits; and they find the treasure. They return to rescue Marion, and in the struggle Miltimore is killed; but he makes a confession clearing Fenton.
