Summary
The Algerian consul's urgent appeal to the Chief of the Secret Service sets into motion a pursuit across continents, targeting Abdullah, the sultan's errant brother, who has absconded to the United States with both the royal harem and invaluable jewels. Peggy, the Chief's most adept female operative, is swiftly dispatched. Her initial attempt to apprehend Abdullah is complicated by the unexpected presence of her sweetheart, newspaperman Hal Tracy, whose involvement in the ensuing skirmish leads to him being thrown overboard. In a rare lapse of professional focus, Peggy abandons her immediate duty to rescue Hal. Resuming her mission, she tracks Abdullah to his remote mountain hideout and infiltrates his harem under the guise of an Algerian woman. As the nights pass, Peggy’s undercover assignment grows increasingly perilous, culminating in a direct struggle with Abdullah, precisely as Hal arrives with reinforcements. The successful recovery of the jewels and Abdullah's arrest, however, does not lead to the anticipated union of Peggy and Hal, as the Chief has yet another critical assignment awaiting his most capable agent.
