Three college boys graduate. One is in love with a girl, whose mother and father have domestic difficulties. They go to court and are divorced. Father is refused the request for his daughter, and in turn kidnaps her and takes her to another state, where he becomes a great political factor. Bill, one of the graduated college boys who is in love with the girl, with his two companions, traces the girl and steal her away. In doing so his hand is burned with a poker and the father uses that as a means of identification in tracing him. He goes to the house where Bill is hiding and one of Bill’s pals, to avoid his arrest, burns his hand with a poker. Father comes in, cannot identify Bill’s pal and he leaves, realizing he cannot have his daughter.
