After hiding the platinum for the U.S. government at Coos Bay, OR, Christopher is attacked by his Malaysian crew and he kills them in self-defense. A vacationer named Barbara Le Moyne comes upon the wounded and delirious Christopher, but while she seeks help, Christopher staggers onto a ship bound for San Francisco, California. Later, the clean-shaven Christopher has a second encounter with Barbara, but neither immediately recognizes the other. Barbara's fiancé, reputed Secret Service agent Henry Longfield, befriends Christopher, hoping to locate the hidden platinum. As affection develops between Barbara and Christopher, Longfield denounces his rival as a thief. Christopher convinces Barbara of his innocence, and when she triggers his memory of the Coos Bay incident, he leaves in search of the treasure. Upon locating the platinum, Christopher is set upon by Longfield and his gang. Barbara comes to the rescue with a real Secret Service agent and the gang is defeated. After learning that Longfield is a German spy tasked with returning the stolen treasure to his government, Christopher throws him over a cliff. Written by AFI See less
