Synopsis
A gentleman vacationing in California with his valet rescues a girl on a runaway horse, then, upon leaving her, presents her with his calling card. After showing the card to her parents, the girl discovers that the gentleman is her fiancé by an arranged match made when she was a child. The parents write to the gentleman reminding him of his prior obligation and invite him to their home. Fearful of the outcome, the gentleman enlists the help of his valet and exchanges identities with him. When he sees who the girl is, however, the gentleman attempts to reassume his rightful position but is tied to a burning bedpost by his scheming valet. To thwart the newcomer's intrusions, the girl's foreign suitor ties her to a rock and leaves her to drown in the ocean, but the gentleman frees himself from the bed and, using an umbrella parachute, makes a daring leap and saves her from death.
