The boys of Arrowhead ranch play a trick on him to make him forget his sorrow. He receives a letter, however, saying that Anita is in the Philippine Islands and was forced to disappear suddenly as she was sent on a secret mission. Shorty goes to the Islands and learns that Anita has been killed by a mysterious person known as "The Jungle Ghost." He starts out to investigate, assisted by Ellen Drake of the secret service, and unearths a plot of a party of revolutionists to steal plans of the fortifications. The general of the Islands believes Shorty guilty of stealing the plans and imprisons him. The general's wife has been forced, through a chain of events, to aid the revolutionists. She is the guilty party and secretly liberates Shorty, who finds the camp of the revolutionists, re- covers the plans, and arrives back at the American camp in time to warn them of the Filipino uprising. There is a fight in which Shorty kills the leader with the same spear that caused Anita's death. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
