9   Sessue Hayakawa as Nara-Nara, in the Japanese Secret Service. A patriot of Japan and sincere friend to America.

10    In the Japanese Embassy, Washington, D. C.

11 "I am advised that America is to send troops from her Western Coast to surprise the Germans on the Russian front."

12   In Los Angeles.

13 "This has come through our agent in Holland. We'll decode it at once."

14 "I have sent for you because Japan has offered to convoy the American transports."

15 "New German raiders are known to be in the Pacific. This means there has been a 'leak' - in Major Northfield's department."

16 "Find the traitor behind that 'leak' before he divulges the transports' sailing date and route. Japan's honor is staked upon their safety."

17 "I suspect Northfield himself. Move with great caution as the American Secret Service declares him above suspicion."

18 "You've already made good in Northfield's outer office. Before that transport order arrives you must take Miss Loring's place in his inner office."

19 "Miss Loring likes you. It'll be a simple matter to invite her - at the right time - to a little - er - dinner."

20 "I'm swamped with work and have decided to promote you to help me in the inner office."

21 The following week a new firm of importers takes the office next to Northfield's.

22 "That refers to the transports. Please put it in the safe."

23 "As your doctor you know I insist on golf once a week."

24 "Can't I persuade you to come out to the Country Club with me this afternoon?"

25 "Miss Loring must dine with us - tonight."

26 "But I can't dine with Dr. Smith without a chaperon - and he particularly mentioned you."

27 "Major Northfield plays golf at the Country Club Saturday afternoons. He won't be in till Monday."

28 "American girl have beeg round eye instead of the beautiful slant - but some of her have beauty."

29 "I'll return the girl's handkerchief - and get the measurement on Northfield's side of the wall."

30 "Dr. Smith is to meet us at the restaurant at seven."

31 "Put the microphone through here."

32 On the trail.

33 "Where does this - Dr. Smith - live?"

34 "I feel so - odd. I - can't remember."

35 "Prepare a room for her, Mrs. Harris. A very interesting case - which I shall keep under my personal observation."

36 "If you don't release Miss Loring, I'll call the police!"

37 "You're a member of the German Secret Service. You know the fate of a traitor to that Service."

38 "If you care nothing for your own life - perhaps you do for Miss Loring's."

39 "Unless you take her place as Northfield's secretary, and bring me news of the transports, Miss Loring's case will end - unfortunately."

40 "I found this on the - er - street. I thought you might not like to have it - blowing around."

41 "There is no need to call anyone - I've just been to - my doctor's."

42 "I've been under Dr. Ebell Smith's care for several months."

43 Nara-Nara applies the code in vain to Dr. Smith's mail.

44 "Kitty Little left this."

45 "I'll warn Kitty the code's been stolen. You make Miss Loring talk."

46 "Miss Loring is ill - but I think I can handle - everything."

47 "Miss Loring sick - Miss Little take her place."

48 "I was just passing - and dropped in to say I'm taking a scientific interest in Miss Loring's case."

49 "Has the transport order come through yet?"

50 "The code has been stolen. Guard your letters - and work quickly."

51 "Thank the Postmaster and say these may now be delivered."

52 "The Jap may have found your envelope on the street - but make it your business to be very nice to him."

53 "When does Northfield expect the final orders about the transports?"

54 "You're a loyal little American - eh?"

55 "Will you help me to protect the soldiers of your country - and the honor of mine?"

56 "I have reason to suspect Major Northfield."

57 "If Major Northfield is innocent, your reports will clear him. Only the guilty will suffer."

58 "When does Northfield get the transports' sailing date and route?"

59 "If you can't remember I fear I shall have to perform a little operation - on your brain."

60 "The 30th or 31st."

61 "The - er - communication we expect should arrive on Thursday or Friday of this week."

62 "If you'd marry me, Kitty - I think I could keep my mind on this transport business."

63 By the end of the month, Nara-Nara's interest in his new "assistant" has become personal.

64 "When I left Japan my father sent me forth - like a Samurai of old - sworn to the service of my Emperor."

65 "And he bade me return, at the end of my service, and lay my sword - unstained - at his feet."

66 "The postmaster says to try that code on this."

67 "You must get me the information I want. Remember it's for your brother and our country."

68 "I'm going to do my duty - but I feel like a cheat and a - traitor."

69 "The transport order! Bring it to me inside - in five minutes."

70 "I'll add my instructions to this transport order - and mail it to Captain Frost."

71 "Please mail this to Captain Frost - he'll get it in an hour. That'll be all for today."

72 "Deliver this to Captain Frost in person. The one I gave the girl is a - trap."

73 "The letter I hoped to find - evidently has not been mailed."

74 Preparing for the "get-away".

75 "I want the name and number of the last call to my office."

76 "The call came from Dr. Ebell Smith's!"

77 "Order an expressman - that you can trust."

78 "How about - Miss Loring?"

79 "You - traitor! Never will your big round eye break the heart of another man."

80 "You are too beautiful to die! I will take you to Japan with me."

81 "He watches to avenge his dead chief. He at least is not a - traitor."

82 "You need not fear Northfield."

83 "I'll never tell him you are a traitor if you come with me."

84 "If you won't come with me you'll never see Northfield again."

85 "The man on the balcony thinks the murderer is searching the house. He'll kill whoever returns to the body."

86 "Northfield will be that man!"

87 "You are the traitor - to yourself, your Emperor and your 'Stainless' sword!"

88 "This letter will be your punishment. Mine must be greater. I go to take the stain off my sword."

89 "As a member of the Secret Service, it is my duty to return this to you - unopened."

90 "Because of this I'll at least die - an American."

91 "Miss Little was helping to catch the spy. The 'letter' she delivered was - - a blank."

92 "Come. I have something to show you."

93 "The transports."

94 THE END
