As described in a film magazine, Dibec (Malatesta), a whiskey smuggler who trades liquor to the Indians for blankets and furs, is being pursued by the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. Dubec stops at the post where Mrs. Delisle, wife of Sergeant Delisle, is alone with her daughter Nonette and her baby sister Julie. Dubec kills Mrs. Delisle and abducts Nonette. Twelve years later, Julie (Compson) is celebrating her 16th birthday. The men of the Royal Mounted attend this function, and while the dinner is in progress, Sergeant MacNair arrives. He at once falls in love with Julie, and she with him, and this love persists even though MacNair is to succeed Julie's father as commander of the post. The post is located at Chino Landing, and Sergeant Delisle has been unable to curb the lawless element brought by the gold rush. After twelve years Dubec has returned from the gold camp and is accompanied by Nonette. She is now a woman of the dance halls, and at first she succeeds in keeping her identity secret from her father. But when Delisle's life is endangered by the lawless element and Julie is kidnapped by Dubec, Nonette reveals her secret. While MacNair, who has also been taken prisoner, fights to save Julie, Nonette brings her father and others to the scene. Dubec is captured and there is a happy reunion.

Hamilton Hill rencontre Estelle Redding dans un atelier de réparation de parapluies. Peu après, il la sauve d'une attaque par deux voyous. En fait, Estelle a caché dans le manche de son parasol la formule d'un produit qui pourrait remplacer le charbon. Edward Burnham, un des voyous, dit à Hamilton qu'Estelle est un espionne allemande, mais le jeune homme ne croit pas à cette histoire. Estelle confie le parasol à Hamilton, mais quand Burnham, qui s'avère être le frère d'Estelle, arrive à le récupérer, ils découvrent tous deux que la formule n'y est plus. Deux agents allemands, qui se font passer pour des agents du gouvernement, réussissent presque à obtenir la formule, mais Hamilton, accompagné de Burnham, qui a changé de camp, arrivent à temps pour la sauver. Finalement la formule est transmise au gouvernement américain, et Hamilton et Estelle peuvent penser à des choses plus romantiques.

As described in a film magazine, a little girl, cast up from the sea in a fisherman's net from a wrecked ship, is adopted by the wealthy Wellington Stanhope (Deane) and his wife (Wright). The girl is the only survivor of the lost ship and no one knows anything about her. Eighteen years elapse and the child appears as the young debutante Sybil (Lovely) at a birthday party where she meets Hartley Royce (Quinn) and Gerald Waldron (Mulhall), who both fall in love with her. Julie (Myers) is jealous of Sybil, and plots with Harley to keep her separated from Gerald. Sybil tries to have Hadji (Selbie) tell the fortunes of the guests. While on an errand Sybil is followed by the impetuous Hartley who takes her in his arms, and to avoid him she jumps off a cliff into the sea. As the guests from the party search for her in boats, Gerald Waldron has an dream in which witches, spirits, nymphs, and sirens dance and plot on the beach at night. During the allegorical dream love (represented by Lovely) overcomes evil (represented by Myers). The spirits are driven away at the break of day and Gerald wakes up, finds his sweetheart Sybil on the beach, and takes her home.
