Synopsis
Detective Kirby, a paraplegic, discovers that his daughter is the prisoner of a band of counterfeiters led by the evil Professor Grimble, whose son is serving a twenty-year prison sentence based on Kirby's evidence. Desperate in his helplessness, Kirby summons help by setting his own flat ablaze and is rescued by firemen. Later, Kirby's daughter manages to reach her father by telephone and taps out, in telegraphic code, a message describing her plight. In the end, she escapes, an explosion kills Grimble, and the police arrest the professor's cronies.
