Otherwise the fortune will revert to the state. Dave is in dire need of the wealth left by the old man and is thunder struck at the conditions under which the money is left to him. He commissions his man-servant to investigate and report to him regarding the beauty of the unknown girl. Joe starts his investigation and comes upon the young lady, who has been paddling in the river. She has replaced one shoe and stocking. She hears someone approaching and realizing the predicament she is in she quickly places the bare foot under her and sits on it. When the would-be hawkshaw discovers her, he realizes on seeing only the one foot that the girl is minus a leg. He so reports to his master. Dave resolves to let the fortune go by default, but when the landlord presses him for his rent, he realizes that there is nothing left for him but to take the best of a bad bargain. In the meantime a flirtation is taking place on the beach between Dave and a very handsome young lady. Dave is badly smitten, particularly so, after having saved the young lady from drowning. As the two become better acquainted, they learn one another's name when lo and behold, they discover that each is the one the other must marry to inherit the money.
