They are also instructed to get the Ambassador out of the way and make it appear that he has committed suicide. His mysterious disappearance arouses the United States Secret Service officers, but they are unable to solve it. They find his hat and coat on the edge of a pier and they come to the conclusion that it is a case of suicide. Lambert Chase, the detective, is consulted and after going over the ground, decides to put in practice a plan which he has figured out from his careful deductions. He gets on the trail of the crooks and decides that they are holding the man .prisoner. He sends them a message that there is a case of merchandise awaiting them at one of the piers. They send a truck to the pier and bring it to their headquarters. After receiving it, they lock the door and proceed to open the box. At this point, Lambert Chase springs from the box, armed with two revolvers, with which he holds them at bay, while he blows a whistle for the police, who are waiting outside the bundling. The gang attack the detective and severely beat him, but before they have done their worst, the police break into the room and soon have them under control. Entering an adjoining room, they find the Ambassador a prisoner, and release him. Lambert Chase is taken to the hospital where he receives daily visits from the Ambassador, who gratefully compliments and thanks the detective for his valuable services to him and his government.
