Both love the same girl, Marie Wilson, daughter of their colonel. The three young people lived in the same town and grew up together; the two men had agreed long before that neither should pursue Marie. Bainbridge suggests a plan that each shall offer her flowers and the one whose bouquet she accepts first shall have the right to woo her. Marie takes Clifford's flowers first, and later accepts his overtures of love. The seed of jealousy and hate is thus sown in Bainbridge's heart, later to grow into a deadly parasite. Later, the two officers are delegated to carry a confidential letter to Colonel Brown at the Presidio, San Francisco. Marie and her mother decide to avail themselves of the officers' escort to visit friends in the states. Santos, a spy, interested always in the movements of the U.S. Army, observes the two officers embarking for San Francisco and realizes that they must carry important papers. He follows them. The next day a rough sea washes Bainbridge back from the bow, injuring his knee. Santos rescues him and the resultant gratitude opens up the way for the spy to meet the party. Santos recognizes Bainbridge's weakness and plies him with liquor. The officer soon tells of his love for Marie and of the mission that carries him and Clifford to California. Santos plays on the drunken man's mind and agrees to get rid of Clifford. The spy intends at the same time to secure the papers. Santos attacks Clifford, and, with Bainbridge's reluctant help, throws the officer overboard. While Santos is searching the stateroom, a trick of fate makes the steamer strike a derelict. Several passengers, panic-stricken, jump overboard. Lifebuoys are thrown to them and a boat is lowered. One of the buoys drifts near the weakening Clifford. He puts it on and drifts for another day. He is rescued, unconscious and half dead, by a pleasure yacht bound for San Francisco. Clifford's absence is discovered aboard the steamer. They believe he was lost in the panic. Santos learns that Marie is carrying the confidential letter and determines to search her cabin. He secures the papers, but as he is leaving through the window, Marie fires and kills him. Arrived in San Francisco, Marie and Bainbridge deliver the letters to Colonel Brown. Thinking to divert Marie's mind from the tragedy of Clifford's disappearance, Bainbridge orders their machine to pass the fair grounds. Clifford has arrived in the city and starts for the Presidio. He sees Bainbridge and Marie and follows them. Seeing that he cannot escape in the machine. Bainbridge jumps out and tries to hide. He is driven to the platform over the rocks at the Cliff House.
