He is warmly greeted and made comfortable by his sweetheart Grace Lyon and her aunt, Mrs. Blake, at Mrs. Blake's home. Another roomer at Mrs. Blake's residence is John Horton, an ex-miner. He persists in annoying the pet Orang-outang and is cautioned to cease by Tom, who says: "Some day the Orang-outang will turn upon you." Tom Howard, in the past years, has been instrumental in saving the life of Jim Hand, another seaman. Jim calls on Tom at Mrs. Blake's home. Chang, the Orang-outang has evidenced a fondness for John Horton's silver-handled cane. He slips into Horton's room, and abstracts the cane, taking it into the room of his master. Tom returns to his room and is horrified to discover Horton's cane there blood-stained. He finds Horton dying from blows upon the head. The blood-stained cane being found in Tom's room, he, together with Chang are taken in charge and placed in a cell. Jim Hand, the sailor, reads of Tom's incarceration. Hand says that when he left Tom's room he encountered Horton; that years ago they were miners together; that Horton had decamped with Hand's savings; that in the boarding house Horton tried to attack him and that he felled him with a blow from the cane. Tom and Chang are liberated and the young sailor is again happy in the love of his sweetheart. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
