Cosmo is asked to investigate the smuggling of dope into the country on the ships of the Largo Line. Disguising himself as a Portuguese sailor, he abducts one of the crew. The first mate, finding himself short of a deck-hand, goes ashore and hires Cosmo. Eventually, Cosmo discovers that the captain and mate are using a torpedo gun to fire metal cylinders of dope onto the New Jersey shore.
