- Tom Perkins and his wife live with his mother-in-law; he promised to do so when he was married, and there the tragedy began. After four months' turmoil he packs his grip and makes known his intention of accepting a job at the Sand Point Turpentine Camp in far away Florida. We see him undergoing hardships in the backwoods turpentine camp, with no companionship save that of his black assistant. A telegram comes to him; he must leave at once. His employer refuses to listen to his importunities until Tom shows him the telegram. Immediately he is given money and bade godspeed and he starts on his journey. We see him arrested for fast driving and running down a pedestrian. He shows the telegram to the policeman, and is turned free to continue his journey. Arriving at South Jacksonville he finds the ferry boat is just leaving her docks. He attempts to jump for it and is arrested for attempted suicide. He is taken before a police judge, who reads the telegram and turns him loose. Arriving again at the ferry docks he finds that the boat had stopped running; he quickly secures a rowboat and pulls for the opposite shore, losing his money overboard in his frantic endeavors. He dives for it without avail. He swims across the river and is now in Jacksonville but without money. Drenched to the skin and without hat or coat he runs to the nearest bank and finds it closed. He hurries to the banker's home and after showing the telegram, receives the money and starts on the last lap of his journey. After many disappointments and cruel mishaps, he stands, in fear and trembling, upon his own threshold. Is it too late? Has the worst come to pass? He enters the house and the final scene the audience is shown the contents of the telegram and sees Tom standing amidst the greatest happiness ever given to man.—The Film Index synopsis
