Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] Bill Swift goes to work on Captain Randall's ranch, and finds that he is in love with Randall's daughter Helen. Randall, a former sailor, possesses a valuable black pearl. Lord and Lady Rathburne visit the ranch. They are really international thieves, working with confederates to obtain the Randall pearl.
