Wilson's daughter Jane is aboard. The acquaintance soon ripens into love and Tom gets her promise to marry him, on the condition that he obtains her father's consent. Tom, who is poor, starts in with her father by telling him he is "in love with a girl worth a million." Wilson, not knowing it is his daughter, plans an elopement. He lends Tom his auto, gives him passage to Honolulu as a wedding present, and lends him money for expenses. The elopement comes off as planned, but is almost spoiled by Tom sending an explanatory message to Wilson, before he has obtained his marriage license. Wilson arrives at the dock a few minutes after the vessel has left, and immediately chases it in a motor boat. He has given orders to the captain of his steamer that he is "to obey Tom's orders until he (Wilson), countermands them." When he gets near the vessel Tom ties the whistle open so the captain can't hear Wilson's orders to stop. Wilson is picked up from the motor-boat in chair rigged to a block and tackle, but instead of being taken aboard, he is left hanging just out of reach of the rail, where he is compelled to witness the marriage ceremony, which is performed in front of him. After it is over he is taken aboard and everyone is forgiven. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
