Don goes to call on Daisy, the daughter of a tugboat captain, and the irascible father orders the young man from the wharf. Daisy tells Don that if he will hide on the "Ruth E" on the trip about to be made he will secure material for a big story. In the meantime, Anita, a Spanish girl spy, determines to learn the destination of the tug. Through a hazardous subterfuge she discovers that the craft is carrying arms and ammunition for the Cuban insurrectos. This information she imparts to the Spaniards, who set out in pursuit of the tugboat. The Spaniards arrive on the scene while the boat is landing the contraband goods and Don and Daisy, through a clever ruse, succeed in blowing up their pursuers' boat. Don then returns with the tug to the place where the filibusters have made their landing. The captain and his crew come aboard and return in safety to Florida. The captain recognizes the clever resourcefulness of Don and finally accepts him as a suitor for Daisy's hand. The story that Don turns over to the editor brings him the enviable position of "Star Reporter." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
