Edith and Claire, who own adjoining estates, return home. Dan, a lover of outdoor life, pitches camp on Edith's estate. Egged on by Claire, Edith orders Dan off the place. Dan, however, attracted by the girl's beauty, impudently announces his intention of remaining. The girls summon the constable and have Dan locked up. The Justice of the Peace is located in the village tavern and induced to try the case, Dan is fined $10. Pretending to be a dollar short, the boy requests Edith for a loan. Amazed by his boldness, Edith gives him the money. Dan promptly returns to his camp. Despite Claire's protests, Edith declines to order him away again. In fact, when Dan serenades her with a piccolo that night, she comes to sit beside him. Meanwhile, Jenkins, the stableman, burglarizes the house. Edith discovers the man at work. Her shouts for help bring Dan. He thrashes Jenkins and throws him out. Jenkins later secures revenge by shooting Dan in the arm. The following morning Edith discovers the young man's wound, and the fact that she loves him. Claire comes upon the two in the act of embracing. Horrified, she reminds Edith of their oath. At this moment Evelyn is announced. Seeing Dan, she throws her arms about him. Edith is inclined to be jealous until she learns than Dan is Evelyn's brother. Snapping her fingers at the old oath Edith announces her intention of becoming Dan's wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
