Maud Gregaards travels to China in search of a fabled treasure said to have belonged to the Queen of Sheba. Once there, she is taken captive by an evil man and nearly killed in the belief she is a witch.

Auguste is an aging prostitute who falls in love with Felix, a younger student. While Felix has strayed away from his parents, Auguste starts taking care of him and spends her life savings into a cake shop to move further away from prostitution, but trouble comes when another woman enters the picture.

After the death of Alan Stanley, Maud Fergusson seeks revenge. On her behalf, the detective Hunt begins to investigate and proves that Murphy is responsible for the murder. Maud's revenge plan involves launching a newspaper campaign against Murphy, defaming and embarrassing him.

Thanks to the treasure of the Queen of Sheba, Maud, who now calls herself Fergusson, has become an immensely wealthy woman. The plane that rescued her and Allan Stanley from Ophir belongs to newspaper king Fletcher, who reports on the rescue operation on the front pages of his newspapers.

Maud Gregaards tells her rescuer, the Chinese Dr. Kien-Lung, her life: Her father was an archivist in the Foreign Office who was run by the unscrupulous Dr. Frohner was blackmailed into giving him a secret Chinese treaty.
