Captured by a trio of thieves at a Chinese port, Gwendoline, a courageous but naïve girl, is sold to a local casino-brothel owner, but after being rescued by Willard, a mercenary adventurer, she is reunited with her maid, Beth, after the latter's abduction by the same thieves who had earlier kidnapped Gwendoline. Hired to transport an illegal cargo, Willard reluctantly agrees to take both women with him after Beth, withholding information vital to his livelihood, promises to divulge it only if he becomes their guide.
