Nuaki. a distinguished Japanese army officer, has been trained from childhood to consider her country's interests above everything. Ned Winthrop, a young American, who has invented a new torpedo boat, which is the superior of any in use, visits Japan and is entertained by Gen. Nuaki, who seeks to induce him to sell his invention to Japan. Winthrop refuses to sell to any government but his own, but the patriotic Japanese, seeing that money will not tempt Winthrop, notices that his daughter, the beautiful O'Tsuru San, has attracted him, and resolves to secure the plans of the torpedo boat through her agency. 'The girl agrees to marry Winthrop for the sake of her country, and leaves with him for America. In America O'Tsuru San is kindly greeted by Ned's mother, and the Japanese girl's love for her husband grows stronger day by day; the oath she gave to secure the plans of the torpedo boat for Japan becomes distasteful to her. An agent of the Japanese government enters the household and tells O'Tsuru San that the plans must be secured and turned over to him. After a great straggle she resolves to aid her country, tricks her husband, and turns over the precious document to the agent. Winthrop discovers his wife's deception and curses her. The girl, broken-hearted, realizes that love for her husband is greater than love for her native country. She pursues the Japanese agent, overtakes him and regains the plans, after a terrible struggle and is rescued just in time by Ned, who realizes for the first time his wife's temptation and the love for him which was stronger than the oath of O'Tsuru San.
