Senor Luis ...See moreTom, son of Colonel Loring, is a handsome but dissipated youth, easily influenced to moral transgressions. Mary Lee, the pay-master's daughter, loves Tom despite his failings, and tries desperately though vainly to reform him. Senor Luis Rivera, polished and apparently wealthy (in reality a spy) becomes intimate with Tom, who, to keep up his end and pay his gambling loses to Rivera, and steals $5,000 from the Paymaster's safe. Rivera threatens to expose Tom's theft unless he steals for him the plans of forts in the southwest, proposing to give back the money, which Tom may replace in the safe, if he does so. Tom cannot resist the temptation, and secures the plans from his father's office, but before he has delivered the drawings to Rivera, Mary learns of the situation, and by pawning her jewels and using a little legacy, raises enough money to replace that stolen. She then forces Tom to defy Rivera, and replaces the plans. No one suspects Tom, but he realizes that he is breaking the hearts of his father and the girl, and swears that he will prove worthy of their love. Rivera has gone away. Tom disappears and under another name enlists in the army, leaving a note for Mary in which he tells her that she will not see him again until he has redeemed his shameful past. Shortly afterward the regiment, to which Tom has become attached, is ordered to the southwestern border on account of difficulty arising with the Republic of Mexico. In the meantime Mary has applied for and received an appointment as a Red Cross nurse and is herself sent to the border. One day after her arrival she is sent by the surgeon in charge to a point some distance away from the hospital and is greatly surprised to find the soldier assigned to drive the wagon furnished for her transportation, none other than Tom. The two young folks are overjoyed to see one another again. Tom takes his seat with Mary and the escort inside and the journey starts. Rivera with his troop learns of the trip, and starts in pursuit of the little party. A running fight follows. Mary and Tom are the only ones left alive on the wagon. Tom stops the wagon and hastily mounting Mary on one of the mules, sends her in search of aid, while he undertakes to hold back the attacking Mexicans. Upon Mary's return with a troop of cavalry they find Tom lying wounded. Tom is taken to the hospital and with Mary's careful nursing is restored to health. Later Tom is made Lieutenant and secures Mary's hand. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
