A young married couple leaves on the same boat for a voyage. After the boat is some distance out, the deck becomes filled with people. The young couple, standing by a railing, sadly look at a locket containing a photo of their kidnapped child and are watched at a distance by two gamblers, who decide to steal the locket. The gamblers go to the upper deck and plan the theft, standing near a lifeboat in which Dot is concealed, having jumped out of the basket. When the gamblers start to stroll away, Dot follows. After some difficulty, she locates the stateroom of the intended victims and conceals herself in a berth, where she finds a revolver under a pillow. Just then the young lady enters, looks for a handkerchief, when the gamblers suddenly come in, seize her and attempt to get the locket. Dot jumps out, covers them with the revolver, and marches them to the Captain, who has them put in irons. Explanations follow and Dot is given a good home with the young couple.
