Plot edit
Margaret Smith attempts to save her brother by visiting Henry Foster, from whom her brother stole, but Foster refuses leniency. Sonia Borisoff, a Broadway dancer, visits Foster with the offer that she will break her engagement with Dick Foster, the son of the wealthy man, if Margaret's brother is given a pardon. He accepts. In the presence of a crowd of Russian Reds, Sonia makes love to their leader when Dick appears. He is indignant, but Sonia then insults the Communist leader after Dick leaves. The Reds lure her to a lonely house where they plan to kill her, but Dick intervenes. Some of the Reds again corner her in her apartment, but secret service men arrest them. Margaret and Sonia are then revealed to be the same young woman and to be an agent of the secret service. She and Dick then wed.[2]
