Bank teller Spencer Rutherford is in love with Alethea Brand, the daughter of bank owner Roger Brand. Roger tells Spencer that he must have a fortune equal to his daughter's before he will allow them to marry. Soon Baron Norvinsk and his sister, Paula Lavergne, arrive at the bank to open account. Norvinsk is a representative of the Russian government and Roger Brand, sensing that there is a fortune to be made in selling munitions to the Russian government through Norvinsk and gives him a half-million dollars in credit. However, Alethea's discovers what the "Baron" and his sister are up to, and Alethea and Spencer set up a plan to expose the pair, but things don't go quite as planned.
