Who was the man found bound and gagged in her apartment at the Grand Hotel? Francis Ballou and Jack Hilton, house detectives, are utterly unable to solve the mystery. Later that day, Francis and Hilton enter Mrs. Holden's room during her absence, in search of clues. The two discover a pushbutton from which wires run to the floor above. Mrs. Holden returns unexpectedly and surprises the detectives. In spite of her remonstrances, Francis presses the button. Three sharp knocks come from above in reply. A few minutes later Manning enters the room and is made captive by the two sleuths. Francis and Hilton allow Mrs. Holden and Manning their freedom after the latter promise to explain everything by midnight. At 11 o'clock the detectives, waiting in Mrs. Holden's room, hear a shot upstairs. Hilton dashes out into the hall in time to capture a man of foreign appearance. Followed by Manning, Hilton brings his prisoner into Mrs. Holden's apartment. It appears that the foreigner is none other than Pasca, a foreign agent who has succeeded in stealing the U.S. Government's secret code, and topped this with an attempt to get the key to the code. Under the impression that Mrs. Holden had it, he drugged her and overpowered Clinton, who was with her at the time. The two were agents of the Secret Service. Failing to obtain the key, Pasca daringly attacked Manning, who was also an agent, and thus brought about his own capture by Hilton. Capt. Bradshaw, an official of the Secret Service, arrives and confirms his agents' story. Pasca is placed under arrest. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
