To keep Gladsome from socializing with the local fishermen, James drives them from his property, but they organize under her and force their way back. Arrested for rabble-rousing, Gladsome is bailed out of jail by James and later meets "Alphabet" Carter, a vacationing financial wizard, for whom she has an immediate attraction. Equally enchanted, Carter proposes, but Gladsome hesitates, telling him about her social-climbing mother. Carter returns to Wall Street, hears that James has squandered Harrison's money and confronts him with the truth. Fearful of exposure, James rushes his son's marriage, but on the day of the wedding, Gladsome slips away and weds Carter. When Mrs. Harrison is told of James's misdealings, she is reconciled with Gladsome and welcomes Carter into the family. See less
