Synopsis:

Late one evening, a woman in disguise murders Princess Maria and steals the Revensdorff tiara. The police set out a dragnet for the murderess. Claude and Mary, two criminal geniuses involved in the theft and murder, find a young lady named Lola who is suffering from temporary amnesia. They convince her that she is an escaped killer and send her to the Hotel Brideston near the city airport. Their attempt to escape the dragnet would have succeeded and they would have sailed quietly away with the priceless tiara if it were not for Lamont and Margot. They stumble onto the scheme when they find Lola lying in the street and discover her amnesia. When Claude and Mary race to the airport, The Shadow foils their scheme and forces them to a barn which the police surround. The crooks are shot while making an escape and Lola is returned for treatment to the correctional school from which she escaped earlier.
