A wealthy young playboy becomes involved in the hunt for a master criminal when he catches one of the criminal's henchmen in a woman's bedroom and, at the same time, the criminal is setting his wealthy aunt up for a jewel robbery by posing as a policeman assigned to protect her. He starts to date the woman whose bedroom was broken into and whose brother is embezzling her money. When the brother kidnaps the playboy, the criminal volunteers to find him. The playboy figures out the criminal's true identity, all the bad guys are taken care of in a scene involving a cliff, and he ends up with the woman.
