Flinn's sailors' outfitting shop, suspected to be the headquarters of a band of revolutionary agents. Nettie Howard, who tends shop for the Captain, is in love with Dan. When he is overpowered in the cellar by Basil Cerino and his gang, she pleads for his release, but to no avail. While Flinn is out of the room, Nettie muffles the bell behind the counter by means of which the captain is able to warn the desperadoes in the cellar of the approach of danger. On his return from the conference in the cellar her employer locks Nettie in a room, from which she escapes, and goes to the office of the Surveyor of the Port, Dan's employer. The Surveyor sends her back with several detectives. Flinn, because of the muffled bell, is unable to warn the men at work in the ammunition cellar, and they are surprised. In the fierce fight which ensues, Cerino seizes Nettie and drags her into a secret passage, where Dan, the minute he is freed, goes to her rescue. The leader of the band is taken into custody. And Dan and Nettie soon after are married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
