Unknown to Ripley, he has been followed by three Malaysians. They trail him to the Brent ranch at Los Alamos and take up their headquarters in an abandoned shack near the Brent home. On the night of Ripley's arrival the cat is left in the care of his Japanese valet, Tatsu. A cry in the middle of the night awakens the household and ranchmen, and investigation finds Tatsu dead, a mysterious wound from a poisoned dart proving that the assassin was a Malay. A clue sends Barbara, Wallace and the Sheriff to the abandoned shack which they find deserted. Wallace and the Sheriff go off to the town in search of the Malays, while Barbara remains to watch the shack. The leader of the Malays appears from hiding and pounces upon Barbara. Tense gripping drama surcharges the scenes that follow, alternating between a stirring pistol duel in town before Wallace subdues the Malaysians and Barbara's struggle to effect the capture of the leader. The clearing up of the mystery later discloses the fact that the bell on the collar about the cat's neck contained the famous Kadevan ruby, stolen from the royal palace.
