Saboteur

Barry Kane, a munitions worker, finds himself wrongfully accused of starting a fire at the Stuarts Aircraft Factory in Los Angeles. This tragic event leads to the death of his best friend, Ken Mason, leaving Barry determined to clear his name.

As Barry seeks the truth behind the fire, he uncovers that the real arsonist is Frank Fry. Barry realizes that Fry had deceptively provided him with a fire extinguisher filled with gasoline, a key piece of evidence in his quest for justice.

Barry finds a letter addressed to Frank Fry from Deep Springs Ranch in Springfield, California. With this crucial hint, he sets off to the ranch, hoping to gather more information that could help exonerate him.

Upon reaching Deep Springs Ranch, Barry confronts Charles Tobin, the ranch's owner, but Tobin denies any knowledge of Fry. However, Tobin’s granddaughter slips Barry a telegram that hints at Fry's plan to escape to Soda City.

After Tobin alerts the authorities, Barry is arrested but manages to escape due to an unexpected turn of events during a rainstorm. He jumps off a bridge to evade capture, determined to continue his search for the truth.

Seeking shelter from the storm, Barry finds refuge in the home of blind composer Philip Martin. However, Patricia Martin, Philip's niece, arrives and unwittingly threatens to expose Barry's location to the police.

To protect Patricia from the authorities, Barry takes her hostage. While driving through the California desert, their car breaks down, and they are then saved by a passing circus, which provides them a temporary respite.

Barry and Patricia finally arrive at Soda City, only to discover it as a hideout for saboteurs. Barry pretends to align himself with them, seeking a way to New York City while secretly planning to thwart their operations.

Upon reaching New York, Barry finds that Freeman has brought him to Mrs. Henrietta Sutton's mansion, where Pat is being held captive. Matters escalate quickly as Tobin reveals Barry's true identity to the saboteurs.

Barry and Patricia sneak into Mrs. Sutton's lavish society ball to rescue her. However, when Pat is abruptly seized by the saboteurs, Barry is faced with a painful decision to surrender himself to Tobin.

The saboteurs, posing as newsreel photographers, hatch a plot to destroy the battleship U.S.S. Alaska during its christening at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Barry learns of their plan and knows he must act quickly.

In a bold move, Barry pulls the fire alarm in Mrs. Sutton's mansion, which creates a diversion allowing him to escape and thwart the saboteurs' plan to blow up the ship. Though he succeeds, the dock suffers significant destruction.

As the saboteurs seize Barry and take him to their skyscraper hideout, Pat informs the police, who are ready and waiting. This turn of events provides Barry with an unexpected chance at justice.

Fry attempts to escape to a nearby movie theater, but Barry realizes he must convince the police to pursue him. Pat courageously follows Fry to the Statue of Liberty, where the FBI is contacted for urgent assistance.

In a tense chase atop the Statue of Liberty, Fry tries to evade Barry. As Fry clings desperately to the statue's outstretched hand, he falls to his demise, closing the chapter on Barry's harrowing journey of betrayal and justice.
