On Rugged Shores (1914)
Mary, the lighthouse keeper's pretty daughter, is betrothed to Jack, the son of a hardy fisherman. Jack's foster brother, Phil, is none too honorable a fellow and, if the truth were known, he has wronged Carmen Felipe, a little fisher girl. The girl appeals to Phil to marry her, but he throws her aside in scorn. She then appeals to honest Jack, and when he remonstrates with his foster brother he is advised to mind his own business. One night Mary and Jack agree to meet in a cave near the lighthouse. The same night Phil takes Jack's boat and, with two other rough characters, he engages in smuggling a shipload of goods. While Jack is going to keep his tryst with Mary he is waylaid by Carmen who tells him that her father is intoxicated and is beating her mother. Jack goes to her home and sets matters right there. In the meantime Mary has Jack's boat on the water and concludes that he is not coming to meet her. The following morning revenue officers make an investigation and as Jack's boat was seen leaving its moorings, Jack is arrested and charged with smuggling. Carmen knows who the real smugglers are and she appeals to Phil to save his foster brother. Phil refuses and threatens Carmen if she informs on him. Carmen's sense of justice, however, overcomes her fear and she notifies Jack's father that Phil is the guilty party and not Jack. This bit of information is set before the revenue men. Phil and his companions are captured, while Jack is released and hurries to break the good news to Mary.
