- Although Ripert and Henri Bladeau are suspected of smuggling diamonds into the country, it is impossible to catch them in the act. Jean and Warrington are assigned to the case. Calling upon Ripert, the Girl Detective requests him to match the gems in her diamond necklace. Ripert promises to have the jewels shortly. The following day, his brother Henri arrives from Europe on the "Eastern." Although the sleuths watch the two closely, they are unable to detect anything suspicious. Henri returns to Europe on the "Eastern's" next trip. His brother sees him off. The following day, Ripert informs Jean that he has secured the gems she desires. An investigation results in the discovery that Henri invariably occupies Stateroom No. 3 on his trips to and from Europe. The Girl Detective arranges to secure this room when the "Eastern" is about to make the voyage abroad several weeks later. Unaware of the trap laid for him, Henri enters the stateroom. Jean's presence astounds the man and his brother. The Girl Detective and Henri agree to see the steward and have the matter straightened out. Ripert remains behind. Warrington, who is watching him, sees the man remove a deckboard under the bunk and take a bag from a secret pocket in the deck. Entering the room, Warrington places Ripert under arrest. The smuggler turns upon him and is in the act of throttling the sleuth when Jean, Henri and the steward return. Covering the smugglers with a revolver, the Girl Detective rescues Warrington. The bag in Ripert's possession is found to contain a quantity of gems. It is made plain to the detectives that Ripert, in seeing his brother off to Europe, would return to shore with the gems Henri had stowed away on the trip to America.—Moving Picture World synopsis
