He recognizes his wife, but doesn't give himself away to her. Viva Edwards, as the wife, has married a lawyer named Mack Swain. He cleverly rescues his own child from a runaway motorboat, and then finds out that the tramps with whom he is associated are going to kidnap the child with the connivance of Swain and at the instigation of a grafting lawyer, Hank Mann. He reveals his identity to his former wife and tries to convince her of the villainy of Swain. She does not believe him and when she sees him near a tree, where some money was to be paid, accuses him of being in the plot. He afterwards squares himself by making a daring rescue of the child by entering a hut, just before it is blown up with dynamite. His wife takes him back and Swain goes to jail.
