A nefarious criminal genius, Doctor Kruger (John Miljan) directs bank robberies from his radio studio, where he poses as a clairvoyant host offering platitudinous advice to listeners. His gang de-codes these broadcast messages and successfully rob designated banks. William Haines (William J. Brennan) discovers the ruse and in turn is kidnapped by the crooks, who are determined to silence him. After a climatic chase, William escapes and Kruger and his gang are exposed and arrested.[4]
