Synopsis
Louis and August Siever, the twins sons of a German father and American mother, are traveling in Europe when war breaks out. August joins the Kaiser's army, but Louis, a supporter of the United States, is practically made a prisoner in Berlin for a year while he tries to prove his American citizenship. After a violent confrontation with Louis, August steals his brother's passport and leaves for New York with Gerda Anderson, a German spy. When August and Gerda hear that the Waynes, wealthy friends of Louis, are throwing a weekend party on Long Island, they rent a nearby house and invite all of the Waynes' guests, including Louis, to a "mystery" party. Once arrived, the guests, who are mostly women, are made prisoner and ransom notes are sent to their husbands via carrier pigeons. While Shirley Wayne and Louis track down and are captured by the extortionists, Mortimer Eddington, an amateur detective, devises a method to trace the pigeons back to the house. Before Shirley and Louis come to harm, police officers close in and demand the Germans' surrender, but they choose to fight, and die in the attempt.
