Accompanied by Whalen, the woman registers at the Grand Hotel where the convention is being held. An hour later, Whalen's trunk arrives. At his request, Hilton has the trunk placed in the strong room. With the detective's departure, the trunk opens from the side, revealing Benny Berg, Whalen's lieutenant. The crook forces open the other trunks in the room and places the most valuable portion of their contents into the space he has vacated. Shortly afterwards, Whalen and Kate inform Hilton that they have received a message which calls them home. Upon entering the strong room for the purpose of getting Whalen's trunk, Hilton is knocked unconscious by Berg. The latter also attacks Whalen, whom he hates, and thrusts the man into the strong room together with Hilton. This done, Berg locks the door. Accomplices in waiting carry the trunk away. Hilton recovers and learns Whalen's real character. A phone hidden in the wall enables the detective to summon help. Whalen and Kate are placed under arrest. Furious at Berg's treachery, Kate betrays the gang. The police raid the crook's den, but fail to capture the band. Hilton, made a prisoner, is carried away in a launch. The police continue the chase, which is brought to an end when Hilton succeeds in fouling the propeller of the Whalen gang's launch. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
