Novelist Lucille Martin is on a boat headed home from China where she was getting proper atmosphere for her new novel, when the maid of Chin Liang informs her that she is carrying a valuable jade idol to New York for her master, and that three enemy agents are on board to stop her. The maid, soon to die, gives Lucille a "Bluebird" ring and the idol to deliver to America. Once home, Lucille finds her home ransacked and the idol missing. When she accidentally drops the ring and steps on it, a mysterious gas is emitted which gives Lucille Martin super-powers, which she uses to retrieve the idol.
