Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine,[2] Tom Blake, on his way to get money from the bank to pay off the mortgage on his boss's ranch, is intercepted by Jake Trumbull, the foreman of Simon Purdy, the man who holds the mortgage. Tom is shanghaied, but escapes and swims ashore to a school for young women, where he meets Marjorie Felton, his boss's daughter. Jake then kidnaps Tom and Marjorie and forces Tom to state where he left the check. Frankie, Tom's younger brother, slips off, gets the check, and delivers it to Purdy just in time. Tom frees himself and rescues the young woman.
