Jacques meeting Marie one day proposes marriage to her, but is refused. Happening to pass Jean's cabin, Jacques sees Marie in Jean's arms. Jacques meets the coast guard, who tells him that smugglers are about. This puts an idea in Jacques' mind, and he with his pal Francois, starts to put it into execution. They go to Jean's cabin and take Jean's hat and coat. Then he and Francois go where they have a boat moored and Jacques puts on the stolen clothes. A coast guard sees the launching of the boat, and recognizing Jean's coat and hat, becomes suspicions of Jean. Jacques and Francois proceed to their cave, as they are smugglers. Arriving at the cave they get a bundle of lace which has been smuggled and returning to Jean's cabin they cut off several yards and place it in the pocket of Jean's coat. They leave the cabin and are returning to the cave when they meet the captain of the coast guards. They inform him that Jean is a smuggler. The captain and his guards arrive at Jean's cabin. The captain accuses Jean of smuggling. He is placed under arrest. Francois and Jacques gloating over their success, return to the cave and are making a division of their spoils when a quarrel ensues and Jacques insults Francois. Francois leaves the cave. He runs to Jean's cabin and tells Marie how the affair was accomplished, and they start after the captain and the guard. Overtaking them, Francois tells the captain. The whole party then proceed to the cave where Jacques is. After surrounding the cave with guards, the captain, Marie and Jean go inside. Jacques is accused and denies, but when Francois appears and confronts him with the balance of the lace he is arrested. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
