Hugh Gaynor, of the U.S. Secret Service, receives word that smugglers are at work along the coast. His sister, Adelaide, is saved from drowning by Vinton Randolph, and falls in love with him. Randolph is known as a capitalist, but is really the hand directing the smuggling. His library is connected by a secret passage with the cave home of Tony, one of the smugglers. Gaynor and two officers detect Tony and his confederates in the act of smuggling, and a fight ensues, in which Tony kills one of the officers and escapes. He hides the smuggled goods in Jacques' boat, as revenge on the latter for having protected Meg from Tony insults. The result is that Jacques is arrested, but in spite of Tony's taunts, Meg still has faith in her lover. She begs Gaynor and Adelaide to release him, but all to no avail. One day Meg seeks refuge from a sandstorm, and is given shelter by old Sal, Tony's mother. Tony comes up a moment later, and old Sal hides Meg. The storm has increased, and a heavy limb of a tree strikes Tony before Sal can get to the door. The wind blows the door of the secret passage open, and Meg darts within. Old Sal, seeing how terribly wounded Tony is, rushes off for the priest. Meanwhile, Randolph is preparing to elope with Adelaide. He goes to the secret hiding room of the smugglers for some valuables, and is locked in by Meg. She then goes to Adelaide, and triumphantly declares that her man is now locked up, too. All ends well when Tony's dying confession frees Jacques and indicates Randolph. Meg reveals where Randolph is prisoner, and Adelaide scorns him. Meg finds happiness in the arms of Jacques.
