Pigeon Island tells of a pretty girl in the United States Secret Service who trails a band of smugglers. In this work she meets a fascinating young man, also a government agent, who is on a similar mission. She suspects him of being a criminal; he believes she is in the league with the band. Nevertheless they fall desperately in love. One stormy evening the girl goes to trap the smugglers. The young man follows and saves her from death. Then he seizes the lawbreakers, and the girl, learning his identity, confesses she is the daughter of the chief smuggler. It is a gripping climax, one that puts true love to the supreme test.
