Synopsis:
The Crimson Avenger learns that Laura Burlingame, the daughter of a wealthy couple, has been kidnapped. Burlingame's former business partner J.N. Worthy is requested as the go-between to leave the ransom money. The Crimson Avenger witnesses the meeting with Worthy, then follows the kidnappers to their hide-out. He ensures the girl is safe, then waits for the head of the gang to arrive. Worthy turns out to be the kidnapping ring-leader. The Crimson Avenger surprises the crooks, rescues the girl, then escapes before the police can arrest him too.
