Westcott Jack Perrin Stella Kathleen O'Connor Enright Henry Barrows Celeste Gertrude Astor Lacey Leonard Clapham Lion Man Slim Pagett ^yESTCOTT, pursuing the train down the railroad tracks, overtakes it as it slows down for the next depot, and succeeds in taking Stella from her perilous position. Westcott carries her into a chop suey joint, and is seen by Enright and Celeste who leave the train at the depot and hasten to the place. Enright bribes Fu Wang, the Chinese proprietor, to kidnap Stella, and as Westcott is called into the hallway a hand comes from behind the screen and snatches Stella. Westcott dashes back into the room, knocks down the screen, but fails to find a trace of the girl. Westcott leaves to get help. Stella is taken to a sound proof room and a coolie stands guai-d over her. Wang tells Enright of a way by which Westcott can be disposed of, by Stella herself. Enright consents. Wang sprinkles some oriental perfume on a bouquet of flowers and sends this into Stella's room. This perfume has a hypnotic effect, and the person who smells of it l-eceives a maddening desire to kill. But Stella has succeeded in eluding the guard, finds a secret opening in the wall and goes to an underground tunnel below. Celeste strays into the room where she has been taken, smells of the flowers and the hypnotic state coming over her, she picks up the dagger that has been conveniently left. Westcott endeavors to persuade the Sheriff to assist him in finding Stella, but the Sheriff tells him that it is honeycombed with passages. Lacey, who has followed Stella from Topaz, overhears the conversation and goes to Wang's place, where a waiter who mistakes him for Westcott, sends him into Celeste's room, and locks the door. Celeste, under the influence of the deadly drug, attacks him furiously and Lacey fights for his life. Westcott returns to Wang's place, discovers Enright with Wang, and endeavors to force them to disclose Stella's whereabouts. Wang sends him below through a trapdoor to an underground tunnel with iron bars. Some distance away several Chinese enter with some slave girls, and are seen and followed by the Lion Man. Stella sees Westcott, but the iron bars are between them. The Chinese with the slave girls come up and drag Stella away, while Westcott frantically tears at the bars. Lacey succeeds in overpowering Celeste, who tells him that she can remember nothing since smelling the flowers. Puzzled, Lacey smells the bouquet, and when Enright and Wang enter he madly attacks them. Westcott finally forces a way between the iron bars and rushes off with Stella. , . Wang and Enright succeed in overpowering Lacey and bring him out of his hypnotic stage. Wang is told of Westcott and Stella in the tunnels below. He touches a lever that sends a volume of water rushing into the passages. . Westcott and Stella, after making their way along in the darkness of the tunnels, find the passage blocked by a door, and then behind them another door swings shut. A small door opens and a flood of water pours in. Ffigher and higher jt comes over them, with no apparent hope of escape.
