Plot[edit]
Barry Kane is falsely accused of torching Stewart Aircraft Works in Glendale, California, an act of sabotage that incinerates one of his co-workers. Kane believes the real culprit is a man named Fry, but investigators find no one by that name on the plant workers' list. Kane remembers Fry's address from an envelope, so he thumbs a truck ride to a huge ranch in the High Desert. While there, Kane learns Fry has gone to Soda City and that the ranch's owner, Charles Tobin, is collaborating with Fry and other saboteurs. Kane escapes the ranch, later taking refuge with a blind man whose niece, Patricia Martin, attempts to betray him to the police. Kane insists he is innocent and kidnaps Martin. This leads to a series of adventures that take the couple from one end of the country to the other.
They stow away on a circus caravan, whose members conceal the pair from the police. Eventually Kane and Martin reach Soda City, a desert ghost town, where they become separated. Kane learns the saboteurs are preparing to blow up Boulder Dam. After foiling their plan, Kane accompanies them to New York. He learns of their plan to sabotage the launching of a new U.S. Navy battleship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. In the meantime, Martin contacts the nearest sheriff -- unaware that he is a member of Tobin's spy ring. Kane and the saboteurs reach New York and meet with Tobin at the posh home of a rich sympathizer, Mrs. Sutton, who is hosting a party for high society. Kane is reunited with Martin (who was forwarded East by Tobin's organization). After the party ends, Martin is imprisoned in an office high up Rockefeller Center, while Kane is locked in Sutton's basement. He escapes by triggering a fire alarm. At the same time, from the multi-storied office building, Martin floats an SOS note out a window. It lands next to a group of cab drivers who read it and then notify authorities.
Kane rushes to the Navy Yard and locates Fry at the controls of a device designed to blow up the battleship. In the ensuing struggle, Fry successfully presses the button that sends the ship to the bottom of the harbor. Fry then escapes. After terrorizing the audience at Radio City Music Hall, he takes the ferry to Bedloe's Island and hides inside the Statue of Liberty, where he is later discovered and confronted by both Kane and Martin. Kane pursues Fry onto Lady Liberty's torch, holding him at gunpoint. While backing away from Kane, however, Fry falls over the platform's railing and clings to the statue's hand. Kane tries to save him, but as the police and FBI arrive, Fry falls to his death.
