Doris Force receives an intriguing letter from the Misses Gates requesting that Doris visit them at her earliest convenience. The letter reveals that Doris has an unknown uncle, John Trent. Doris immediately assumes that she is to inherit some money from her unknown uncle. Doris and her friend, Kitty, travel to the Gates' home, Locked Gates, to learn that the sisters want Doris to loan them money so that they can pay for a lawyer to settle John Trent's estate!
Doris stalls, as she instinctively dislikes John Trent's son, Ronald, and feels certain that the man is swindling the sisters with the help of their servants. Doris and Kitty investigate the house, discovering a crippled young woman who has been hidden away her entire life. They also eavesdrop on one of the servants hiding important papers in a suitcase.
