Meanwhile, Ruth is pulled into the devious scheme of the feckless American ambassador who is being manipulated by a beautiful, charming and promiscuous British agent. The ambassador and resident consul hatch a plot to halt shipments of valuable metals from northern Sweden to a warring Germany despite the declared neutrality of the United States and they drag Ruth into their scheme. Ruth can only save herself and her newly discovered Swedish relations from ruin by her considerable and quick verbal talents and her hands-on knowledge of dynamite.
