Synopsis

In the office of Major Northfield, the quartermaster of the Pacific Coast, a leak has been discovered which may endanger the safety of American transports that are secretly carrying troops across the Pacific. Nara-Nara, a Japanese detective, is assigned to the case because his country has guaranteed safety to these transport ships. Nara-Nara believes that Northfield is guilty, although in reality it is Northfield's secretary Kitty Little, a girl of German ancestry, who is passing information to Dr. Ebell Smith, a German agent. Nara-Nara falls in love with Kitty, but soon after discovers that she is the leak in the quartermaster's office. Kitty, who is in love with Northfield, is beginning to have doubts about her mission, but nevertheless, delivers a message to Smith's house. Nara-Nara follows, kills Smith, and then commits suicide rather than turn Kitty over to the police. Kitty, finally realizing that she had betrayed her country as well as her love for Northfield, forsakes her career as a spy and marries the vindicated Northfield.
