Arliss is cast in a dual role as a detective and as his kidnaped brother, the British foreign secretary. The detective impersonates his brother in order to solve a mysterious murder that could bring the Brits into a war. Of course he's successful, but he allows his brother to take the
credit. The best thing about the film is some nice split-screen work, which has detective Arliss shaking the hand of politician Arliss.
