Robert prospers in the new land, but Donald goes to the bad, runs away to sea and becomes a smuggler of Chinese to America.
One day Murphy sees Cameron, mistakes him for his brother, McNish, and puts the avengers on his track.
Cameron, who has a fine Connecticut estate, receives a warning from the Chinese, the only signature being a silhouette of the Sable Lorcha, or funeral ship.
Meanwhile, in front of Cameron's Fifth Avenue mansion, appears an unkempt and sickly individual who later is found to be McNish.
The police follow one of the avengers to a house in Chinatown, where a large tank has been prepared and Cameron is to be bound while the water rises and brings slow torture and death.
