Synopsis

When a reporter goes to Florida to investigate a man-eating alligator that has been terrorizing a lakeside town, he falls in love with a woman whose father's fortune in gold bullion has been stolen and buried by a gang of crooks. The reporter locates the map showing where the gold has been hidden and goes with his sweetheart to recover it. After they dig it up, however, the last surviving member of the gang, having followed them, pulls his gun and tells them that they have only a few minutes left to live. Just as he is ready to shoot, however, the alligator, which had been lurking hidden nearby, decides to make a meal out of him. With the crook eaten, the woman not only gets the gold, she also gets a proposal from the reporter, which she readily accepts.
