A young college man loves her. Several politicians and franchise buyers descend upon the hotel to get the Governor's pull. He first repudiates them, but at last is about to yield. The young chap, Dan Hallan, learns of their plans and discovers that they are about to ruin the Governor in his home state to prevent re-election, and gets into a big row with the old chap for his pains. The Governor forbids his daughter to have anything to do with the young man and she disobeys. Dan starts to feel out the tricksters, whom he makes think that he will cooperate with them. They ask him to win over the Governor's daughter for her influence, and he takes walks, secret drives, etc., with their assistance and connivance, as they explain in the daughter's absence. At last they determine to get married and, while the old country parson is waiting for them in a cottage near the hotel, the girl is told by her father that he has decided to agree with the politicians, for their pull, etc. She is furious and pleads with him. As she is doing so the men approach, and when they hear them they laugh, declaring that Dan helped them all along. She is broken-hearted. She hands him back his ring. She accuses him of falseness to her father's cause upon which he shows her a telegram from the home state, showing that the gangsters have been exposed in the papers through his quiet work, and her father lauded as a great statesman, who resisted temptation. The wedding goes on and they race away happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
