Blueprints for a secret aircraft are stolen and traced by French agent Walder to Switzerland, where Lindbaum offers them for a large sum. Agent Francis Coplan is sent to negotiate, but Lindbaum holds only half the plans after being double‑crossed by crook Kalpannen. With Heidi’s help, Coplan tracks Kalpannen’s gang, only to find its members murdered.
