Henry Normand is the chief of a gang of thieves and murderers known as the Sons of Satan. Under the name of Paul de Villereau he is also a famous detective, and both he and his organization, "Freshley's Detective Agency," have at times been of service to Scotland Yard, though their real purpose is the levying of blackmail. De Villereau is attracted to Winifred West, an actress, who is engaged to Lord Desford, the son of the irascible Earl of Littleborough. Winifred refuses a gift sent by the detective, who determines to get the girl into his power by foul means. Dick Penton, Winifred's guardian and stage manager of the theater in which she appears, who loves Winifred, suspects the evil character of the detective. De Villereau's plans are facilitated by his relations with Desford's stepmother, who has been afraid that a foolish letter of hers will come into the hands of her husband. She pays heavily for its recovery, but the letter restored to her by De Villereau is only a forged copy
