- George Howard, secretary to one of America's officials responsible for the treaty between Great Britain and the United States, was a handsome fellow, well-liked by his colleagues, but George Howard did not possess the most sturdy character in the world and when the opportunity presented itself to clean up a fortune by betraying the contents of this new treaty Howard took advantage of it. Shortly after the disappearance of George Howard, it is discovered that the treaty already spoken of had been copied. Feeling that improper eyes might fall upon it, both governments concerned were highly agitated. John Steel, one of the cleverest of the United States secret service agents, was immediately placed on the case. Meanwhile Donna Inex, a spy in the diplomatic service of Mexico, has read of the theft of the important papers and realized that it would be a feather in her cap if she could obtain possession of same. Later she managed to make the acquaintance of our weak-willed young Secretary Howard. It is little trouble for her to learn where the treasured paper is hidden. She disguises herself as a scrubwoman to search it out. However, Howard surprises her in the act. Donna ostensibly joins with him. She pretends love for the fugitive and further entraps him in a note asking him to meet her in Tucson, Arizona, with the treaty. Meanwhile Steel, the secret service agent of the United States, has closely followed the trail of Howard and the Mexican woman. Yet he has failed to locate the paper which is his real mission. The girl. Donna, joins her lover, Pedro, and as one of the members of a wagon train going to Tucson, she is able to avert suspicion. Howard wires her that he will join her on Wednesday with the treaty. Steel learns of the plan and at the proper moment makes his identity known and saves the young secretary from a lasting disgrace. The contempt of Donna stings young Howard into a realization as to the extent of his disloyalty. He determines to return to the United States to stand trial for his crime. The secret treaty is returned to the United States government with the assurance that no eyes but Steel's and Howard's has ever read its lines.—Moving Picture World synopsis
