The formula for the world's most powerful explosive is stolen from the U. S. Government. The secret service is baffled; but William Brown, who got his badge from a Kansas detective agency, picks up the clue. He recovers the missing envelope but gives it to an accomplice of the thieves. Believing the envelope safe he proceeds to claim the reward from the chief of the secret service. He is exposed, ridiculed and his tin badge crushed under-foot. Once more he picks up the trail. He remembered that the woman to whom he gave the envelope used sandlewood scent. He smells everything and everybody until he recovers the missing documents and wins the reward of a real detective's badge, and the love of the girl.
