Felese has set her heart upon ensnaring Raymond Everard, who is connected with governmental affairs, for she is bent upon his downfall. In her employ is Morat, and a band of his men, who are watching his every movement, and together they plan that she will invite him to her home and when he stands in front of a certain window Morat will shoot him from the outside. Raymond is really in love with Felese, and when he tells his mother all about the beautiful girl whom he intends to marry the mother is more than pleased. Raymond gets a commission to leave for Europe upon some official duty and phones Felese that he wants to see her. She thinks that he has no intention of marrying her, and she is greatly surprised, Raymond says, that he really loves her and intends to marry her. But Morat is waiting for the signal.

She stands at the window and is shot by Morat and later found by Raymond and the officers.
