Jones, the old lighthouse keeper, starts off for the mainland to buy food, and instructs his little granddaughter Nell to light the lamp at nightfall. While in town, the captain quarrels with ne'er-do-well Joe; they fight and the captain severely thrashes Joe. Later that day, Joe seeks a further quarrel and calls at the lighthouse; seeing that the captain is away, he prevents Nell from lighting the lamp. The old keeper returns, the argument is renewed, and Joe is thrown off the cliff. He is picked up by friends, whom he tells that he has been the victim of an unwarranted attack. The friends report the captain to the Lighthouse Board, who send representatives and conduct a hearing. While the captain is being tried, little Nell, fearing that her grandfather is about to lose his position, goes to Joe's hut and begs him to tell the truth and clear the keeper. Joe experiences a change of heart and although suffering great pain from his fall over the cliff, he manages to write a note which Nell presents to the board and the captain is exonerated.
