ynopsis

Vera Kirkman, who dances under the stage name of Princess Aysha at the Coolie Club, is attacked by a strange character named Ahmed, who seems to think she has something he wants. Rescued by the giant bouncer Hugo, she goes the following day to the Hawaiian Village Hotel. While waiting there, she spots Ahmed, who again demands the return of something she stole. To get away, she goes into the offices of Hawaiian Eye. There she hires Tracy Steele to find her old boyfriend, Martin Wheeler. Wheeler, now married, is easily found, arousing Steele's suspicions.

Vera has meanwhile arranged to meet Cyril Plummer at his offices, where he has found a buyer for her rare Hawaiian Missionary stamps. But before Vera can meet the buyer, she finds the body of Ahmed, who has been murdered. Steele later learns from her that the stamps came from her former husband, the Begum of Jodhpur. Ahmed was his servant, trying to get the stamps back after the Begum divorced her. Steele locates the buyer, Edward DeLong, and learns Cyril Plummer was cheating Vera on the price of the stamps. With DeLong's help steele captures Plummer and forces him to admit to Ahmed's murder.
