The taxi stops in front of a handsome cottage. Before Jean can interfere, two men leap from the machine and carry a girl into the building. With a request to Warrington that he break into the place if she fails to return within twenty minutes, Jean enters the cottage. An instant later, the Girl Detective is seized and dragged into a secret room. While her captors are binding her to a chair Jean discovers the girl she had seen carried into the house, in a similar predicament. The other captive is Emily Wharton, an heiress. She has been kidnapped as the result of her guardian's plot to steal her fortune. This man, Jordan, compels Emily to affix her signature to a document which he places before her. Leaving the two girls securely bound, Jordan and his accomplice, Thompson, depart. Shortly afterwards Warrington and a number of policemen break into the house. Guided by Jean's voice, they locate the secret room and liberate the girls. Emily declares that unless Jordan can be prevented from presenting the document she had signed to the trustees of her estate by three o'clock, the scoundrel would obtain possession of her fortune. Warrington and Jean hasten to the address mentioned by Emily. They arrive just as Jordan places the document before the trustees. While Jean denounces the man, Warrington engages him in a struggle. It ends when Jordan, rather than face imprisonment, leaps through the window to his death. Thompson is captured by Jean and carted to prison. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
