  • Plot: Bruce Larnigan, in connection with Jack Stevens, is editing the "Independent," the newspaper which Ben Travers had bought to assist the fight against the trusts. Tom Larnigan has located the head of the Harbor Transportation Trust. In order that he might get evidence against the trust he waits outside their office and follows Monk, an old sea captain, into the place as if he were with him. After learning that Monk has been successful in smuggling in a quantity of opium hidden in his cargo of wild animals, and hearing that the drug is stored in the shop of Gruen, a wild animal dealer, he leaves. Grant Fisher (head of the Harbor Trust) when Tom has left reproves Monk for taking into the private office what he (Fisher) supposed to be an associate of Monk. The old captain says he never saw the man before and was under the impression he was a member of the trust. Fisher then remembers the photographs of Tom and Bruce Larnigan which Stone had distributed to the members of the Graft Trust so that they may identify the trust breakers. Monk leaves and vows to get even with Tom. Fisher informs Stone, who, feeling sure that Tom will visit Gruen's place on a spying expedition, has Dunn, his lieutenant, go there with two assistants to capture Tom. Dorothy Maxwell and her chum, Kitty Rockford, are shopping when Dunn and his two men come from the office building on their way to the animal dealer. The girls see and recognize him as the man in whose office they both had such exciting experiences. They decide to follow him. Dunn recognizes the girls as two spies of Larnigan. He decides to let himself be followed, hoping to trap the girls. A telegram arrives from the department of Secret Service at Washington, ordering Tom to report at once to the Consul at Rio de Janeiro, who will instruct him regarding a secret mission. Tom decides to start at once and turn over the securing of evidence against the Harbor Trust to Bruce. Kitty and Dorothy follow Dunn. They are trapped in Gruen's place and put into a small cellar. Dunn and Gruen then prepare to land Bruce. Tom and his friend, Ben Travers, have strolled down the docks while they discuss Tom's trip south. While they are gazing out to sea Captain Monk and several of his sailors pass. He recognizes Torn, and he and the sailors knock Tom and Travers senseless, carry them aboard his ship and make them prisoners in the hold. Stone feels much elated at the news that Tom Larnigan is shanghaied and sailing for a distant country, and that Larnigan's two spies are prisoners at Gruen's. Curious to see what the female spies look like, he goes to Gruen's and is astonished to find that it is Dorothy Maxwell and Kitty Rockford who have been his secret enemies. He plans a revenge that is in accord with his evil nature. Near the animal store is a low dive where the poor female inmates are kept as slaves. Stone arranges with the keeper of this place to turn over the prisoners to him. He gives the Italian keeper the key to the cellar and tells the man to chloroform the girls before trying to remove them. Dorothy and Kitty Lave not been idle. They have discovered an old pick and crowbar. These tools have no effect on the heavy doors, so they start to remove the padlock of a small door leading to the next cellar, their idea being to get to the cellar of the next house and so escape. But in the next cellar are untamed lions. Bruce and Stevens start for the animal store to get evidence against the Harbor Trust. Once inside, they are threatened by Dunn's men and Gruen. In backing away Stevens steps on the trap and falls into the cellar containing the lions. Bruce is knocked senseless by Gruen. Backing against the wall in horror as he sees the great beasts settle for a spring, Stevens feels the wall behind him give away, and he crawls through the open door just in time. The door is closed and the girls are overjoyed to find Stevens with them. He hears the tramp of feet on the stairs outside, and thinking it is from the men above he proceeds to barricade the door. It is the men sent by Stone after the girls. Finding the door barred they proceed to force it. Reinforced by Gruen and Dunn's men, who have dropped Bruce on having heard the noise outside, the men break into the cellar. In spite of the efforts of Stevens and the girls to keep it closed, the door is forced. Stevens battles against great odds, but just before he is overpowered a number of police rush to his rescue. Fisher goes to the store to remove the opium, sees the body of Bruce and backs away in horror. He steps on the trap and falls to his death among the lions. The fight in the other cellar drowns his cries and his presence in the cellar is not known until his body is found. Meantime Tom and Travers are dragged on deck by Captain Monk and given to understand there is no turning back on that ship. Tom asks him where the boat is bound for and receives the answer, "Rio de Janeiro." Tom shows his satisfaction, displays his official badge and declares they will go as passengers. He orders the best the ship affords and he and Travers settle down for a pleasant trip. Bruce, badly injured, attempts to carry on the fight alone.
