Frances yields to the wishes of her parent in the matter, as their means are limited, and a younger sister. Evelyn is to be provided for. She accepts Granton, respecting him, but not loving him. A thief shadows Granton when he buys the magnificent diamond engagement ring for Frances, and tries to waylay him, Estien Randolph happens along and helps Granton. Granton has the thief arrested and sent to prison, A few weeks later Estien takes an early run in his speed boat. A convict has escaped during the night and Randolph catches sight of him hiding in a clump of river grass near the shore. His sentiment and pity prompt him to offer the hungry wretch some breakfast. While the convict eats he talks to him. He is the man that Granton sent to prison. Randolph takes the convict aboard and covers his stripes with an overcoat. While Randolph is busy with the motor the convict suddenly makes an attempt to stab him in the back with a knife, but Randolph is quick and powerful, and after a struggle gets the best of the situation, although he is wounded in his arm from the knife. Furious at the treachery of the convict, he offers him his choice of being brought back to Sing Sing or take off his overcoat and submit to a sound thrashing from Randolph for the assault. The convict chooses the latter punishment and gets it. Randolph then gives him the overcoat and a five dollar bill and puts him ashore. Randolph's arm needs attention, and therefore he heads for an inhabited point of land nearby in search of a doctor. Frances Huyden is standing on the shore at this point. She tears up a sheer scarf that she wears, and binds Randolph's arm. He falls in love with her. They part. She determines to put all thought of Randolph out of her mind and remain loyal to the promise she made Granton. That same evening Randolph is brought to their home by a brother of Frances. Again the attraction for each other is marked. Next day Frances receives a beautiful silken scarf in place of the one torn for the bandage. She sadly, in the solitude of her own room, burns it at the open grate. While riding on her horse the following day, she encounters Randolph with a chauffeur in his motor car. At the same time the mud-stained, haggard convict arrives between a constable and an officer, handcuffed to them. The convict glares at Randolph, thinking that he has informed the authorities, and that his capture is due to him. Randolph offers the use of his automobile to the officers and walks beside Frances, He tells her of his love and urges her to give up Granton, as neither are in love with the other. Frances refuses. The day of Frances' wedding arrives. An hour before the ceremony a servant tells her that Mr. Granton wants to see her on the south porch alone. Frances goes down. An automobile with a chauffeur with his hand on the lever stands at the foot of the steps. Randolph, in motor costume, runs lightly up the steps, catches Frances in his arms, and takes her into the limousine, which starts off at a bound. Frances faints. When she comes to she finds herself in New York with Randolph. She begs him to take her back. He gently refuses, urging that he loves her. He secures a marriage license, sends a telegram to her father and mother announcing their marriage. Frances yields and marries him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
