Full plot (contains spoilers)
Dr. Remus is a clever tinkerer who has just completed his latest invention. His friend, master detective Stuart Webbs, is supposed to help him present his plans to the Naval Commission. But other powers are also after Remus’s plans. Before he can explain them to government officials, they are stolen. The review therefore has to be postponed. Within three days, the resourceful detective discovers that the mysterious Dr. Tomari was behind the theft. This Japanese chemist and rival of Dr. Remus proves to be a crafty fox and does not let the Remus documents be wrested from him easily. In the end, however, Webbs manages to recover the papers before they fall into enemy hands.
