Ramona, the beautiful sweetheart of Jack, is made love to by Joe, and repulses him with scorn. He forcibly seizes her and is about to kiss her, when Jack rushes upon him and knocks him down. Joe goes back to his crew, cursing Jack and swearing vengeance. Ramona, going out to set her nets, is seen by the smugglers, and in their launch they chase and overtake her. They drag her aboard their boat and her own boat drifts back to shore. There Jack finds it, and a bandanna, which was torn from one of the smugglers. Knowing her to be in their power. Jack essays to rescue her with his police, but the smugglers outnumber him and he is forced to retire. Jack decides now that there is but one person who can rescue Ramona, Hawkeye, the great detective. Jack appeals to him to come and rescue the girl, and he consents. Hawkeye and his men miss their train, but, undaunted, they seize a section boss's hand car and pump madly to the rescue. Meanwhile, Ramona is tied in the smugglers' cabin and told by Portuguese Joe that death or her promise of marriage lies before her. The brave girl, true to her officer lover, scorns him. Hawkeye arrives, and with his two brave officers, Jack and his crew, they embark in the police boat to find the smugglers. Portuguese Joe is about to blow the lovely Ramona skyward, when one of his lawless followers dashes in with the awful information that, "Hawkeye is on our trail." Terror strikes the smugglers, and they decide to flee. Dragging Ramona to their boat, they put to sea. Hawkeye sees them embark, and urging the police boat to full speed, they run down the smugglers' boat, capture Portuguese Joe, and the officer and his sweetheart are reunited.
