The daughter of a banker is engaged to marry one of her father's colleagues. However, her father inadvertently discovers his soon-to-be son-in-law is in fact one of the men who have misappropriated his bank's funds. While confronting Baron de Beaufort, Mr. Racine is shot; his daughter refuses to believe that his death was a suicide. Traveling in disguise and helped by a fraud investigator, she tracks those among his colleagues who looted his bank. [2]
