Romance on an excursion steamer ends amid social clash
Two youths on a river steamer cuddle and flirt as a black eyed girl and a gray eyed rival intrude. The couple retreat for privacy, share a kiss, then return to a quiet deck nook before more spectators interrupt. The scene shifts to a jobless man who cannot read a letter of recommendation, prompting a druggist to decipher it with a comical disguise.

Jim's life ends heroically when he rescues ammunition from a blazing barracks, wrapped in a garrison flag, and is buried with honor.
