Lincoln Whatley, a professor of chemistry, after years of experimentation, has discovered a new explosive. Its value as an implement of war causes governments to extend themselves in bidding for its exclusive ownership. The agent of the United States Government negotiates for the purchase. The higher circle of Anarchists determine to get Demonyte from them by means of money or violence. Lydia, Countess of Orloff, is present and a cast of dice decides that she must do the work, fair or foul. She answers an advertisement for a companion to Professor Whatley's daughter and is engaged. She learns where the Demonyte caps are hidden in the professor's laboratory. Wading through the water, she forces an entrance through the flooring. She finds the Demonyte caps and takes one which is loaded. She has been observed, however, by Lieutenant Turner, fiancé of Mary Whatley. When the robbery of Demonyte is discovered, Turner and Whatley seize the spy. Imprisoning her in an X-ray cabinet, the professor turns upon her the powerful light. The Demonyte cap is discovered hidden in her mouth. Foul means having failed, Lydia later confronts Lieutenant Boston, the American agent, and offers double the price paid for the possession of Demonyte. He scornfully refuses. Pursuing him to the railway train, Lydia causes him to seek safety on the roof of the train. Another train approaches from the opposite direction on the adjoining rails. Turner jumps and falls upon the Demonyte caps. He and the pursuer are blown to atoms and both trains are wrecked. Upon bearing of the terrible effects of his invention, Professor Whatley feels that Demonyte is too wicked a force with which to menace life. Deciding to destroy the secrets of Demonyte's ingredients he blows up the laboratory in which he worked out the master work of his life.
