- In France, Leonie D'Orville is a member of a gang of crooks known as the "Blackbirds." While fleeing from a detective, she jumps into a limousine owned by Nevil Trask. She asks Trask to drive her home. Duval, who is the mastermind of the gang, orders Leonie to get close to the Crockers, a rich American family, who have just bought a $200,000 painting. The Crockers are setting sail for New York, so Leonie boards the same ship and makes their acquaintance. Leonie is surprised to find that Trask is also on board. Leonie falls for Trask. Upon arriving in New York, the Crockers invite Leonie to their home, along with Duval. Trask is also in attendance. Duval tells Leonie to steal the painting at night, replace it with a copy Duval has provided, and then give the original to Duval in the garden. Before Leonie can steal the painting, she encounters Grandma Crocker, whose words about the painting have a strange effect on Leonie. Nevertheless, Leonie does take the painting and replaces it with the copy. But instead of delivering it to Duval, she takes it to her room. When Duval confronts her, Trask overhears the conversation and surmises what has happened. Duval, angered by Leonie's betrayal, notifies the police department of the theft. When the police arrive, Leonie confesses that she has taken the painting. Trask surprises everyone by claiming that he is the thief and that the police can find the painting in his room. Duval takes a shortcut to the room and tries to make off with the painting, but Trask leaps along the stairs and catches Duval. Trask then explains that he is a secret service agent, and that Leonie is his assistant. He also tells everyone that Leonie will soon be his wife.
