A beautiful young woman is a daring master thief. She meets the young millionaire Thomas Babbington Norton, while fleeing from the scene of her latest theft.

'The Lightning Raider' is a fearless beautiful young maiden who steals for the excitement alone and promptly replaces the loot. When a priceless block of ebony is stolen from the home of handsome Thomas Babbington North by someone else, The Lightning Raider readily helps him recover it. Alas, our heroes are opposed by Wu Fang, a wily and deadly Asian. A lot of adventures follow.—Robert
