Feeling death's approach, Rajah Mizpah bequeaths his jewels to his daughter, Princess Oonah. The Rajah bids Oonah beware of Seelam Isham, her cousin. Shortly afterward, Seelam demands the Jewels of Oonah. The girl pluckily refuses and hides them. Seelam's men later ransack the palace, but fail to find the objects of their search. In an effort to escape from her cousin, Oonah leaves for America, taking the jewels with her. The man learns of her plans. Oonah meets Tom King on board the ocean liner. The two become fast friends. Later, the girl learns that Seelam is also aboard. In terror, she tells her story to Tom. The boy promises to guard Oonah against her cousin. Tom takes charge of the jewels, thus frustrating a second attempt by Seelam and his men to steal them. On reaching America, Tom returns the jewels to Oonah, who places them in a secret cabinet. Seelam grows desperate. He and his men break into Tom's home, believing the jewels to be concealed there. The boy, however, has gone to call upon Oonah. Learning of this, the Hindoos follow. Seelam takes with him a powder, the flames of which cause slow death. Tom and Oonah are captured. Tom is bound and gagged. By threatening to kill the boy, Seelam succeeds in wringing the hiding-place of the jewels from Oonah, Tom has been taken into the next room. Seelam places the powder near the boy and lights it. Tom succeeds in crawling to the telephone and summons help. Seelam and his men are just about to leave with the jewels when police burst upon the scene. In the struggle Seelam is slain.
