On her way to America the ship is torpedoed, and a cabin companion of-the Countess dies. She is persuaded to impersonate this girl, and so finds herself at the house of Colton, father of the man who has assisted her. The Coltons became very fond of her, but a secret society of which she is a member wish her to entrap Colton and so obtain his money.
