The boss assents, and as the foreman recommends a specialist of his acquaintance the work of putting the affair through is turned over to him. The engineer, Christie, is persuaded by Andrews to have himself vaccinated. He does so and is taken mysteriously ill immediately afterward. A doctor who is called in says there are signs of foul play. Queer is called in to take the case up. Christie, meanwhile, is succumbing to what appears to be sleeping sickness. Queer finds out from Andrews what doctor did the vaccinating. He calls but finds the doctor out. Without waiting for permission, Queer enters the house by the basement and finds in the doctor's laboratory serum for sleeping sickness and anti-toxin for it. Queer takes the anti-toxin and hurries out to administer it to Christie. While Queer is thus engaged Andrews calls to inquire after his boss. Queer becomes suspicious and follows Andrews. He sees him answering a letter in the shack on the works from a rival construction company addressed to Christie in which that concern offers Christie a bribe to delay the work. Andrews offers to accept the bribe in Christie's place. Queer hurries back to the president of the company and takes him the carbon copy of the letter Andrews wrote, which carbon copy Andrews left behind him by mistake. Then they both go out to the laboratory of the doctor where Queer discovered the anti-toxin, after first having telephoned for detectives to meet them there. They steal in on the doctor and arrest him. Queer then pulls off the disguise worn by the doctor and shows him to be none other than Andrews, the foreman.
