Nat Pinkerton is commissioned to capture the thieves and when pursuing his investigations he receives a mysterious letter advising him that the gang is going to Naples on an evening train. Nat determines to follow up the clue, and missing the train, follows by motor car until he is able to get on board at a wayside station. Masedo, the leader of the thieves, recognizes Pinkerton and sends a code wire to his confederates at Naples, asking them to stop the train before it reaches that city. By greasing the rails in a tunnel and starting a fire, the thieves hold up the express, and during the confusion that follows Masedo and his confederates escape.

The gang visits Danton's home and attack the traitor, leaving him for dead.
