Major O'Shea has come to Madeira on board a German liner following a certain furthest character, when into his calculations come hurting the unexpected in the form of romance. A willful visit aboard the liner by Nanette, who is visiting Madeira with her parents, brings the pair together. The girl immediately falls in love with the debonair and dashing young man whose mission is such a deep secret. O'Shea, knowing the the desperateness of his situation, repels the sentiment which he himself eels for the girl. Thus it is that they enter the lists against the devilish plots of a gang bent on destroying the Empire and thus it is that the devil-may-care young Irishman comes to have a heartier respect or the abilities of a flapper who at first seems to thing of nothing more serious than to swim out to a liner for a glass of beer. Here is a story packed to the brim with exciting events and exciting, irresistible people.
