Synopsis
Margo, the sultry daughter of Halmalo, the intermediary for a group of smugglers, toys with the affections of the men of her Spanish village but loves the impoverished Quintin, who is trying to save a thousand pesos to marry Margo. Lambro, a constable who is deceived by Halmalo's ploy of burying smuggled goods in a fake grave in a graveyard, falls in love with Margo, who encourages Lambro for the purpose of protecting her father. Discovering Margo's complicity in the smuggling, Lambro agrees to let the smugglers operate if Margo marries him. Margo agrees, but Lambro later overhears her plot his death with Quintin. In revenge, Lambro offers Quintin a thousand pesos to kill a smuggler to whom Lambro can direct him. After executing the deed, Quintin learns that he has killed Margo, who was dressed in man's clothes while working for her father.

Notes
Contemporary trade articles call the film a three-reeler, but the Community Motion Picture Bureau, who viewed the film in 1919, gives its length as four reels. The film was shot at the Gardner studio at Tappan-on-the-Hudson, NY. The Charles L. Fuller Co. began advertising itself as the Charles L. Fuller Distributing Co. during the film's run. Ads for the film contain the phrase "copyright 1913 by Helen Gardner," but no other evidence of such a copyright has been located.
