Newspaperwoman Kitty Gray follows a curio shop clue and a mutilated inscription to Gretzhoffen. Under editor order she chases a puzzling broken coin, with adventures unfolding as she pieces together the mystery.
An American girl, Kitty, meets King Michael and hints at a fatal coin mystery. The monarch offers the broken coin halves to entice Kitty to stay, while Count Frederick and Count Sachio arrive. Kitty vows to uncover the coin’s uncompleted message for the realm as she departs with court escort.
In a hotel suite before a grand ball Kitty safeguards a broken Gretzhoffen coin by sending a token to the king. She then plots to join Count Frederick to retrieve the other half, hoping to pair it with the royal gift. A courier mishap and implied danger shadow her plan as she heads toward Frederick’s palace.
Kitty overhears Count Frederick and the prime minister plotting to intoxicate King Michael the Second and seize Gretzhoffen’s throne. Frederick names Count Sachie to woo the king’s presence and provoke a deadly revolution, while Kitty escapes to relay a warning to the monarch’s safety and security.
Fragmented narration follows Kitty Gray in a tense moment where she muses over a coin tied to a king and Frederick. A doorway exchange hints at a count figure and mounting uncertainty as events press on.
