In the camp there is a girl who waits on the table, and a cook who is all the time trying to force his attentions on her. At one time Bob protects the girl and in this way earns the undying hate of the cook. Then there comes about the camp a tramp, who refuses to leave at Bob's command. They have a fight on the hill, over where the streams of water have been arranged to play against the hill. In the struggle Bob is overcome and is about to be thrown to a sure death, as someone has turned on the water. But the girl sees his plight and turns off the stream in time to save him. They do not know who turned on the water, but at last it is found to be the cook, as his fingerprint on the handle gives him away. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
