The next day while out walking Rhoda falls into the lake and is rescued by Dr. Boswell. The doctor and Rhoda become fast friends. A few days later while she and the doctor are out walking, he reaches over a cliff to obtain some wildflowers for her, loses his balance and rolling down the hill, lies unconscious among the rocks. Rhoda calls for help but getting no response she runs back to the inn and tells of the accident. In the meantime a tramp, who has been sent out by a party of hobos to secure a pail of water, discovers the doctor. He carries the insensible man to the hut where the tramps are located and all of the doctor's valuables are removed and divided among the hobos. Rhoda and a rescue party arrive at the cliff and find the doctor has disappeared. That afternoon one of the tramps comes to the inn and offers to sell Rhoda a locket and chain. She recognizes the locket as a memento she has given the doctor. Informing the tramp she will go to her room and get her purse, she runs into the hotel and tells the story to the guests. Money is given to Rhoda and she is instructed to complete the purchase, which she does. The tramp is followed by the guests of the inn and the entire band of ruffians is captured and the doctor released. Dr. Boswell, realizing his prompt rescue is due to Rhoda, tells her of his gratitude and asks her hand in marriage. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
