As described in a film magazine review, Roddy Forrester and Peter de Peyster form the White Mice club for the purpose of aiding humans in distress. When Roddy's father sends him to South America, Peter accompanies him. In the Republic of Montebello, Roddy learns that General Rojas, a former president, is slowly dying in a prison cell. He decides to free the general, especially so when he meets Inez, the beautiful daughter of Rojas. Roddy succeeds in his efforts and wins the affections of Inez.
