The latter gets word from headquarters to get busy about his duties, as a gang of smugglers are operating very successfully in his vicinity. One day this belle of the town goes to the drug store to make a purchase, and finds the old druggist playing solitaire. While they are talking, an earthquake wrecks the building, and she and the druggist are dropped into a chasm that yawns under the floor. It happens that the said captain is the leader of the smugglers, and they have tunneled from the sea under the town. Those precious rascals are in the tunnel at the time of the seismic disturbance, and the girl drops down into the arms of her rough wooer. Fearing detection, he and his gang hustle the girl and the druggist to an island. As they go through the tunnel, the druggist drops his cards, blazing the way. A child, falling in the tunnel, is rescued by the revenue officer, who detects the clue, trails the gang to its island, fastens and captures them and his true love, a credit to his calling and a joy to himself.
