Wouldn’t you be delighted, excited and carried beyond yourself, were you seated on a beach, and a bottle, containing the facts regarding a buried treasure, was washed up from the sea and at your very feet? Helen was all this, and lost no time in running home to tell her father of the glad tidings. He, in company with Capt. Elliott and Mr. Crane, and, of course, his daughter, start off to seek the treasure. They reach their destination and set camp. The father goes in one direction to locate the wealth and Crane takes that chance to make love to Helen; the Captain unintentionally interrupts his most ardent pleadings. Helen and Crane also go their way, while Elliott starts off alone. He is the lucky man, but will let no one but Helen touch the find. The Captain ignores Crane’s advances and gains his dislike for that and because of his ill-success with Helen, who shows a marked preference for the Captain. Helen runs after Elliott to say good-night, but it ripens into a love scene; and at the camp Crane is busy having the treasure chest removed from Helen’s tent. Just as the unwilling sailors are about to put it on a boat, Helen stops them, and the Captain comes to her aid. He settles with Crane and the chest is taken back. Elliott and Helen engage in rapturous love-making, to the father’s approval and amusement and to Crane’s disgust.
