In the Toils (1913)
Winn Hardy is coaxed to lend his name as an aid to a bogus land scheme through the efforts of an adventuress, Edith Warrington, with whom he is infatuated. He goes to the country to sell the stock to farmers, and there saves Mona Denton from drowning in the river. Mona's father is the owner of the village store, and he is only too glad to believe in Winn's proposition, and despite the efforts of Sam, Mona's sweetheart, to blacken the city man's character, he gets his farmer friends to join him in buying up the stock. Winn has won the love of Mona and they become engaged. About this time Winn gets word that the company has failed and all the farmers' money lost. Winn now realizes he has been duped, and tells the farmers he is going back to the city to make good, return and pay them all back. They laugh at him and Mona is the only one that has any faith in him. Winn returns to the city, and after a long, hard struggle, strikes it rich. He sends Mona's father a check to cover all the money he and his friends paid in, and then leaves by motorboat to see Mona. The boat is wrecked when the engine explodes, and when the villagers discover who it is that is in danger of being drowned, they refuse to go to his assistance. Mona finally gets Sam to go to the rescue and he brings the unconscious man ashore, where Mona lovingly brings him back to consciousness. Meanwhile Mona's father has read the delayed letter and hastens out to tell his friends the money has been returned. He comes upon them just after the rescue and everything ends happily for all.
