Synopsis

During World War I, cub reporter Dick Holloway is assigned to discover the murderer of Lord Harold Varden's valet. Lord Varden, sent to the United States to deliver some secret papers, is beginning to feel the effects of his poisoned coffee as Dick arrives at the hotel to question him, and after the Englishman is safely in the hospital, Dick poses as Varden and accepts an invitation to visit his distant relative, Ruth Penfield. At the Penfield home, a group of German spies makes several unsuccessful attempts to obtain the papers, and finally, they kidnap Ruth, demanding the papers in exchange for her return. Dick rescues Ruth, and although the spies give chase, the police arrive in time, leaving Dick and Ruth free to pursue their new romance.
