Light o' Love (1915)
Joe Thanlee and Walt Thanlee, sons of Capt. Thanlee, a retired sea captain, are in love with Beth Slade, belle of the little fishing village. Beth finally becomes engaged to Joe. Shortly after, the freighter Dawn loses its mate. Captain Black, of the freighter, offers the position of mate to Joe. Captain Thanlee gives his favorite son his uniform, coat and cap. Joe becomes ensnared in the city by Sadie and Ralph Lucas, high-class smugglers. When the freighter Dawn returns Joe is missing, Captain Thanlee places a light in the window of his cottage every night, saying that it will guide his boy home. Long months pass by. No word has come from Joe, who has been acting as a go-between for Ralph and Sadie Lucas, the smugglers. Inspector Gleason gets a tip that smugglers are working in his district. He spots and follows Ralph, Sadie and Joe to their apartment. There Sadie and Ralph are arrested, but Joe manages to escape by leaving his father's old coat in the hands of Gleason, after slipping out of the garment. Joe steals to his father's cottage at night, and asks for money to cross the border. Walt is tempted to deliver Joe to the officers, but finally conquers his desire to win Beth in an underhand way, and points out a wrong direction to Gleason. Gleason ultimately captures Joe. Beth on the bluff at the shore realizes that Joe is either dead or has forever gone out of her life. The light o' love has been snuffed out.
