Synopsis
Maui cattle baron Bart Harrison is losing stock during transhipment to the markets on Oahu. His lolo (foreman), Jose Castro, is charged with overseeing the latest shipment to the cattle brokerage in Honolulu, while Bart's sister Rena hires Tracey Steele and Hawaiian Eye to track down the culprit. Bart Harrison tells Steele he suspects Fred Noble, an old friend who heads up the cattle brokerage. But Emily Noble reveals to Tracey Steele that Bart Harrison once asked her to marry him.
Meanwhile, Jose Castro tells the patrician Rena Harrison their affair is over. She begs him to stay, but he plans to leave. That same night Steele confronts Fred Noble as the latter tries to remove record books from the brokerage safe. Fred Noble insists the books are fake, he never saw them before. He suspects Bart Harrison is trying to frame him in order to get at Emily. Jose Castro then tries to shake down Bart Harrison over the fake thefts. When the two conspirators argue, Castro taunts Harrison with his sister's indiscretion.
When Castro's murdered body washes ashore the next day, suspicion falls on Fred Noble, who was seen near the Harrison Ranch. Steele arranges for all the suspects to gather at the ranch for a confrontation, during which he tricks Bart Harrison into confessing the murder of Jose Castro.
