- Episode 1: "The Higher Power" This episode tells of the fanatical ambition of a mysterious Mongolian, Ali Singh, who is a scientist, and a thinker of depth and originality. He develops into a brutal fanatic who stops short of no means to exalt the Yellow Race at the expense of the White. That Ali Singh is recognized as a powerful leader among the Mongolian race is shown in the first episode, when, by the majesty of his presence, he quells a Chinese riot which all but annihilates the White colonists in Hung Kai. Later Ali Singh goes to America to lead his followers in their efforts to overcome the supremacy of the White race. By the sheer determination of his personality, he has a multitude of Mongolian men at his beck and call, who stop at nothing to carry out his commands. At the time Ali Singh arrives, Mr. Bronson, a banker of international importance, is backing an Anti-Alien law which aims to exclude all yellow men from this country. Determined to leave nothing undone that will further his cause, Ali Singh delivers secretly to Mr. Bronson a mysterious note hurled through a window at the point of a knife threatening Mr. Bronson with death if he does not withdraw his support from the Anti-Alien bill. Mr. Bronson enlists the aid of the police and secret service departments, which immediately take up the fight against Ali Singh. The struggles which ensue between the Government agencies and Ali Singh form the substance of the remaining fifteen episodes.—Moving Picture World synopsis
- Episode 2: "The Mutilated Hand" Upon arriving in this country Ali Singh took up his abode in a disreputable opium joint in New York run by Ah Chow, and from there he carried on his warfare against the Whites. To show that his threats against Mr. Bronson, the banker, were not to be disregarded, Ali Singh caused an attack to be made on the daughter of the banker, Margaret, and her friend, May Manning, the sister of Errol Manning, the secret service agent and a friend of the Bronson family. While the two girls were strolling in the garden by moonlight, they were pounced upon and rendered insensible. Margaret Bronson was taken in a car to Ah Chow's joint while a note pinned to May Manning's dress, and found when her unconscious body was discovered, announced that Margaret Bronson would be held as hostage. Meanwhile the bodies of two detectives who had been engaged in trying to run Ali Singh down, were washed up in the East River. Errol Manning, the secret service agent, and the banker's son head an attack on the opium joint, burn it out and rescue Margaret Bronson. Ali Singh, however, escapes.—Moving Picture World synopsis
- Episode 3: "The Poisonous Tarantula" Senator Johnson, who is the chief supporter in the Senate of the Anti-Alien Bill, is found dead in his library under conditions which suggest the deadly hand of Ali Singh. Manning and the police authorities alike are puzzled, and would have remained without a clue to work on but for an attack on Manning's home, which revealed Ali Singh's murderous agent in the shape of a poisonous insect which is attracted by an odor imparted to a letter previously delivered to the selected victim. Najia, the niece of Ali Singh, and often his unwitting accomplice, formed a friendship with the Bronson and Manning families while a student in Vassar College, and it was through her desire to serve her old friends that a warning was given to Errol Manning, and the poison-bug plot was frustrated.—Moving Picture World synopsis
- Episode 4: "Plot of a Demon" In this episode the beginning of a terrible persecution carried on by Hong Kong Harry, the dope fiend and one of Ali Singh's most dependable agents, on Najia, Ali Singh's beautiful niece, is delineated. Fortunately, during the struggle, Najia manages to telephone Police Headquarters, and Captain Kemp and his officers plan a raid on Ali Singh's headquarters. Willard Bronson also rushes to Najia's aid. He narrowly escapes death when his automobile falls from a broken trestle into a ravine, further evidence that Ali Singh's followers are ever on the alert and stop at nothing to thwart Ali Singh's enemies. Manning and Captain Kemp nearly capture Ali Singh, but are opposed and outwitted by Patisha, a creature devoted heart and soul to Ali Singh.—Moving Picture World synopsis
- Episode 5: "The Haunted House" The government authorities become increasingly alarmed over the activities of Ali Singh and his agents. Senator Stevens of Oregon shares the fate of Senator Johnson and his death is the result of "The Yellow Menace" treachery. Najia, after being temporarily safe from Ali Singh's clutches, has taken up her residence with Margaret Bronson and May Manning, and the efforts of Errol Manning and Bronson are directed toward keeping the three girls protected and away from danger. In spite of all precautions, however, they are told that Errol Manning and Willard Bronson are being kept in a house some distance away and need their assistance. Fooled by this trick, the girls rush to this house, are captured and held as hostages with a threat of torture if they did not swear obedience to Ali Singh's commands. Manning, and Bronson are overwhelmingly alarmed at this fresh attack on the girls and immediately set about to rescue them, but their horror at the plight of the hapless girls is nothing compared with the consternation caused by a cable from London, announcing that Willard Bronson 's father, the banker, has been murdered in London, whither he had gone on important business. Willard Bronson realizes that Ali Singh has carried out his threat on his father's life and swears new vengeance on this hostile arch-fiend, who seems to stop at nothing and whose every threat so far he has carried out.—Moving Picture World synopsis
