But when Bruce greets her as Doris Harvey, the girl he helped in her mad race to her home the day of her father's suicide, Doris pretends not to recognize him and insists she is Doris Delmont, the actress, on her way to New York. Bruce is confident that Doris remembers him, but that she, for some deep reason of her own is hiding it. His efforts to penetrate her strange attitude are futile. In New York, two months later after her rescue by Bruce, Doris, having carefully laid her plans in conjunction with Martin Harvey, her grandfather, takes the firsit step in the battle, against the diamond trust. Zeidt and his leaders of the trust — five all together— each receive from an unknown mysterious source, an amazingly large and perfect diamond such as none had ever gazed upon. Czenski, Zeidt's world-renowned diamond expert, pronounces the gems to be the most wonderful in existence. While the trust members are debating what it all means, Doris, hiding her identity, phones Zeidt and tells him she sent the diamonds to them as gifts. She could afford to give them away, she says, because she has an UNLIMITED SUPPLY! In return for their value she asks only an audience with Zeidt and his associates and the expert, Czenki, in Zeidt's ofl^ce that night at 8 o'clock. Zeidt realizes that if the girl speaks the truth and diamonds suh as they had received were to keep popping in the market without limit, they would not be worth a dollar a bucketful. He agrees to the appointment. As Doris hangs up and turns away from the phone with a smile — elated oy the success of her first step in the fight against the trust — her features become suddenly frozen with horror as she sees a swarthy, muscular, bare arm reach forth from the folds of the portieres nearby to clutch her.

With uplifted hand Bob vowed to avenge the death of his mother. At the risk of his life he rode to The House of Death and entered. The House of Death was an isolated cabin run as a saloon by Moore, a former bandit who maintained the place as a rendezvous for men outside the law. It was in The House of Death that Bob knew he would find the murderers of his mother. Arriving there with his faithful dog he concealed his grief and mingled with the border brigands who drank at the bar and chanced the roulette wheel. To his amazement he found there a girl whose face showed her fear of the men around her. She was a ward of Moore and she had incurred his brutal wrath by refusing to vamp the men who patronized his dive. When he won a small fortune at the roulette wheel, Moore sent word to the rustlers to come and rob him. Rose overheard the plot and barricaded herself in a room, determined to cast her fate with the stranger who seemed so unlike the other men in the place. When the rustlers arrive they smash the cabin trying to get Bob and the girl who are barricaded in the upper part of the structure. By good gun-work and the girl's strategy they hold off the mob until the dog runs to Bob's pals with a message of his distress and they come and capture the rustler gang.
