The incident arouses his suspicions as he has spent no little time in an investigation of the smuggling operations in that vicinity. Later he recognizes the captain as Pete Hefton, a notorious smuggler, and trails him to the "Black Crow Inn." Jennie's uncle is the proprietor of the little hotel and she suggests to Tom a plan whereby he may overhear a conference which Hefton is to hold with some of his fellows. Tom creeps into the old fireplace and ascends the chimney, suspending himself with a rope. The girl is not aware that her uncle is implicated with the smugglers and is startled to discover him taking part in the quiet conversation. One of the smugglers declares that the room is cold and lights a fire. The girl sees that her sweetheart is in imminent peril, but does not dare to disclose his presence. Through a subterfuge she decoys the men from the room and liberates Tom. As Tom slips away to secure assistance of the coast guards in rounding up the smugglers, Jennie realizes that she has nothing in common with her unscrupulous uncle and succeeds in keeping the band together until Tom arrives. A desperate struggle takes place and again the girl's resourcefulness is brought into play. When quiet is restored Tom gains a double reward. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
