Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Marie, daughter of the owner of a fishing sloop, is in love with a clam digger, Jean. Her father, however, is determined that Marie shall marry Ragout, his first mate. When Jean brings to light a chart showing the location of buried gold, the sloop owner is rather more willing to consider the clam digger as a possible son-in-law. But Ragout, overhearing, steals the chart, binds and carries Marie aboard the sloop and immediately sets sail to find and seize the treasure. Jean and the girl’s father are in despair. Meeting an automobile, they prevail upon the owner to take them overland at lightning pace to the spot where lies the treasure trove. They rescue Marie and the gold. Ragout is driven from the country. And Jean and his sweetheart are married.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 8 May 1915, page ?] A story of the seashore, and only moderately interesting. It treats of a box of hidden treasure, the location chart of which is found in the sand by the young lover. A race to find the treasure takes place between the dissenting parties, namely a rival suitor for the hand of the fisherman’s daughter, the fisherman himself and the lover. Much of the suspense of the picture is extracted from the fact that the girl’s father tries to make her marry the first mate on his ship.
