At the reception, Mae receives attentions from her lover, Fritz, but falls in love with Arling. Arling and his gang spirit Fritz away and send Mae to rescue him. Mae, coming to his assistance, is met by Fritz with a gun in his hand demanding her jewels, a thing which he is forced to do by the gang hidden in bushes. Mae delivers the jewels and returns to the house to give warning, while Arling orders the gang to take Fritz to their underground den. Mae's father, in going to the police station, is thrown into a cave of the gang. The father, who suspected Fritz of being the thief, is now convinced, but Fritz explains matters. The father escapes and returns to the house with the police. As they arrive, Arling escapes, followed by the father and police and later by Mae. Arriving at the cave, Arling informs the gang to climb the ladder into the now deserted police station. The pursuers enter the cave and a spring door locks on them whereupon the gang in the police station proceed to flood the cave. Mae, arriving, enters the cave and sees the water coming through cracks in the door. She is frantically hammering at the door when it breaks from the water pressure, and the police and her father are washed down a long tunnel while Mae is left helpless. Arling and his gang are meanwhile initiating Fritz into their secrets. Fritz refuses to join them and they decide to tie him to the rails, while Arling will get a locomotive and by means of a rocket will give warning when to start. Mae, making her way out of the tunnel, meets Arling, who explains their intentions towards her lover. She pleads vainly, then rushes to her father and the police for aid. The gang have taken the police auto on their trip to tie Fritz and as Mae dashes to the station for help, the rocket is seen in the sky. Mae enters a racing car and starts for her lover, while her father and the police follow in an aeroplane. As the locomotive is about to cut Fritz to bits, a drawbridge is raised by Mae and the locomotive with Arling in it dashes off the end of the bridge into the water. Fritz is released while the girl who saved his life offers him her hand. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
