He must be about his business, so leaves the girl, and shortly after his departure her father and one of his companions leaves the place and go to their haunt, where they secure a lot of goods and are in the act of smuggling them over the border. They manage to evade the officers for some time, but coming along the road at an obscure part the young officer jumps out and seizes them. He has the old man under his power, but the companion breaks loose and sinks a large knife into the officer's back. The two smugglers make their escape, leaving the wounded man helpless by the roadside. He manages to crawl within calling distance of his sweetheart, who hears his cries and hastens to his relief. He tells her of his encounter with the smugglers, and she hastens to the station to inform the other officers of their companion's injury. They come with the girl to the spot where the injured man is lying, and carry him back to the station. She then tells that she knows the culprit and volunteers to find him, so going to his home she calls the fugitive, and, under the pretense of loving him, lures him to a spot in the woods, where he is taken prisoner by the officer. After they take him to the station the girl comes to the injured man and while the other officer turns his back they have a very pretty little love scene in which they come to a mutual agreement to be companions for life, and seal the bargain with a kiss.
