Synopsis

Working with a gang of diamond smugglers, Helen arrives in South Africa planning to steal uncut gems from the Holstead mines. She hides the stones in a bouquet of roses and gets past security guards, but as she prepares to board a ship heading back to the United States, the secret service becomes suspicious and sends Inspector Hudson to investigate. He and Helen fall in love, while Helen and Paul, who leads the gang and who believes that Helen plans to cheat him out of his share of the loot, argue constantly. Finally, Helen turns the diamonds over to Hudson and then helps him capture Paul as well as the other smugglers.
