Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] Michael Lanyard, an international crook, refuses to join a band of Paris criminals in their attempt to steal valuable secret plans from the United States Government. He falls in love with Lucy Shannon, the trusted agent of the outlaws. The papers fall into the hands of Eckstrom, leader of the gang. Lanyard gets the plans back, but Eckstrom recovers them and flees in an airplane. Lucy and Lanyard follow him in another machine. Lanyard swings from a rope, boards his enemy's airplane, and then overpowers Eckstrom in a mid-air fight and secures the documents. Lanyard and Lucy deliver the plans to the authorities. She then reveals herself as a member of the secret service. Lanyard wins her love and a pardon.
