Desirous of securing a portion of this fortune, Clark proposes marriage to the widow. Later he learns that the legacy has been used up in court proceedings and that Mrs. Wilson will receive but a small share of the money. He jilts her and goes to the seashore, where he meets Dorothy, the widow's pretty eighteen-year-old daughter. Dorothy and her sweetheart, Dick Gregory, have had a slight lovers' quarrel and Clark finds conditions ripe for a flirtation. Dorothy is soon captivated by Clark. Finally Clark is shown up in his true colors, when the canoe in which they are paddling is upset and they are both plunged into the icy waters. Clark leaves Dorothy to her fate while he swims to shore. Luckily for Dorothy, Dick sees the accident and swims to the rescue. He manages to save Dorothy's life and when the young reunited couple return to their friend's cottage, Dorothy finds that her mother has arrived to spend the week end. Mrs. Wilson denounces Clark and the young couple repair to a secluded retreat nearby where they can whisper sweet nothings to each other. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
