Plot
Jack Banning, a member of the Secret Service, receives a mission to disrupt the operations of a gang involved in smuggling silk. Adopting the guise of a motorcycle officer, Banning monitors their activities during the day, and by night, he assumes the persona of "Strongarm Samson," a criminal. Along the way, he becomes enamored with Marion Macy, the daughter of a banker, who is also being pursued by Courtney, the leader of the smuggling ring. Marion eventually discovers Banning's true identity and informs Courtney of his law enforcement affiliation. Banning is apprehended by Spanish Joe, one of Courtney's associates, but manages to escape. Meanwhile, Marion is enticed to the gang's hideout, where Dorina, another undercover agent, awaits assistance from the authorities. After a fierce confrontation, Banning returns to rescue Marion from Courtney's grasp. Ultimately, the smugglers are apprehended, and Banning finds solace in Marion's company.
