Jimmie courts Molly, whose parents look on him with scorn. A burglar chases Pretzel into the blackhands' den. He tells them that he has dropped in to talk over terms. Pretzel is given hush money; afraid to take it home, he buries it. Both the mayor and his daughter see the treasure being cached. The leader of the blackhands meets Molly and later demands that Pretzel give him his daughter's hand in marriage. Pretzel under the threat of death, agrees. Jimmie is notified by the blackhands that unless he produces a million dollars by night be will be blown up. The mayor goes to dig up the buried treasure. So does Molly. The mayor has removed the money and Molly falls in the hole. The cops run on to the blackhands, who chase them. Pretzel's wife learns of the buried treasure and forces Pretzel to lead her to the spot. Jimmie finds a lighted bomb tied to his back, and in running across the country to find a pool, falls in the hole. Molly takes the bomb from his back and throws it out of the hole.
