By chance, she meets her former fiancé, and following a confrontation she flees and conceals herself as a man under the name Pedro, signing on to work on a fishing boat. Later Pedro is taken in by the engineer Robert Smith and his daughter Esther. Meanwhile, Herbert joins a group of criminals who plan to sabotage the engine of the airplane designed by Smith for the military.
