Another episode involving Communists, and this one concerns an adopted Chinese orphan who has an incredible awareness of Marxism and its dangers! The young lady learns that her benefactor, a famed humanitarian, and her new parents are Communist couriers planning to use her to smuggle top-secret information of the United States. When the bad guys learn the little girl knows of the plot, they plan to kill her.
In the meantime, Inspector Lewis Erskine, checking on the death of a scientist, is led to them, but cannot stop them because of a lack of evidence.
