Lee Travis offers a large reward for information on the Crimson Avenger. When a reporter and police officer tell him they have information, Travis wonders if he gave away his secret identity. The police officer, Sgt. Haines turns his information over to the district attorney. Then crooks break in to the D.A.'s safe and steal the information. Haines blames the Crimson Avenger for the theft, but he is really the head of the gang. The Crimson chases Haines and the gang down, finding that the information he claimed to have was only blank paper.
