- Lieutenant Mordaunt and his little sweetheart, Yum Yum, has many pleasant hours in the land of the Rising Sun. So winning are the ways of the little Japanese maiden, that Jack Tar falls very, very deeply in love with her. When love enters all else is forgotten, and thus, when the time for the departure of the fleet arrives, the lieutenant awakens to find that it was all a dream, and that it is now time to be up and doing and leave his little sweetheart behind him. The fleet returns to port, and Mordaunt goes home to his people. Staying at the house are three of his cousins, who greet him boisterously, for being female cousins, they look forward to jolly times with the breezy sailor. Mordaunt's thoughts still turn to the land of the Rising Sun and to his little sweetheart far across the ocean. To their great disappointment, the cousins find a great change in their once cheerful playmate. In place of the breezy sailor man is a poor love-sick swain, who can do naught else but sigh the hours away. The girls find the source of the trouble in the shape of a half-finished letter to Japan, and they decide to have some fun. Arraying themselves in Japanese clothes, they annoy their cousin considerably by appearing before him in the garb he loves so well, only to disappear again into a thicket or behind a tree. Finally, the tormentors are surprised to see their big, manly cousin burst into tears. From that moment Mordaunt becomes more and more melancholy, and in fact, his parents begin to entertain grave fears as to his health. Meanwhile the little Japanese girl beyond the seas has not remained idle. With the energy and enterprise of her race, she has decided to follow her lover beyond the seas. After a long and weary voyage, the little Japanese maiden arrives in Europe. Having carefully rehearsed her part beforehand, the winsome Yum Yum finds little difficulty in finding her way to her lover, who is, by this time desperately ill. At first Mordaunt does not recognize Yum Yum, on account of her European dress, which becomes her so well, but when she again dons the kimono and flaunts again her dainty fan, the lieutenant recognizes her, and all their troubles are forgotten.

- Ben Darwin had been a widower since Gilda's birth and the responsibility of being both father and mother to the girl weighed very heavily upon him. At present, however, what troubled Ben Darwin, was Gilda's friendship for Frank Boardman, a stranger in those parts. To keep the young man from the house was quite simple, but might the girl not meet him outside? As indeed she did, at her own little nook in the mountains, where from childhood her small treasures had been hidden. It was here that Gilda found Frank's note asking her to meet him at the glen, a lovely spot in which their troth was plighted. But before the old man could be persuaded to give his consent, the elder Boardman arrived, and learning that his son was on the verge of marrying the mountaineer's daughter, he showed Darwin a letter in which Frank declared he didn't love and had no intention of marrying "the girl in question." "The girl in question," however, was Miss Grace Elkins, and although Mr. Boardman knew this quite will, he silenced his conscience with the "All's fair in love" adage. White with rage, old Darwin insisted that his daughter at once make preparations to visit her aunt, and indeed had already started with Gilda for the railroad station when Frank appeared, and learning of their departure, hastened to head them off. Then sending the astonished father up the road at the point of his gun, Frank jumped into the buggy beside Gilda and dashed off to the minister. But scarcely had the young couple been pronounced man and wife, when Darwin, accompanied by Mr. Boardman, whom he had met on the road, came galloping up. With a glance, the elder Boardman realized that he had lost. However, being a practical man, he accepted the situation gracefully and even went so far as to acknowledge the deception he had practiced upon Darwin, ask pardon, and give the young people his paternal blessing.

- We show Lord Nelson leaving the admiralty room where he makes his famous speech and then introduce him with his captains giving the details of that wonderful plan of attack which was carried out to the letter at Trafalgar, the inspirations of the captains and their enthusiastic toast. We are then carried along to the day before the battle when the men are writing their last letters home. Here a beautiful scenic and photographic effect is introduced as the vision of the sweetheart of one of the lieutenants fades into view. This gives an opportunity to introduce that famous episode of the letter in which Lord Nelson called back the mail ship for a single message and which is endeared to the hearts of all those who sail the sea. We are then carried along to the morning of October twenty-first, Eighteen Hundred and Five, when the fleet of the enemy is sighted. The decks are cleared for action and the hoisting of the colors is portrayed with all the solemnity of the occasion before entering the battle. The correct incident of the hoisting of the famous signal "England expects every man to do his duty" is splendidly portrayed and carried out in every detail, and we note the pathetic touch in Nelson's life in bidding farewell to his captains having at the time a presentiment of his own death. We now get to the little human touch in his life and learn the true character of the man, for, in his last entry in his diary before the battle, he makes peace with his maker. And now we come to that wonderful spectacular picture of the real battle of Trafalgar. We see the ships in action, the firing of the guns, the ships caught on fire and then the camera switches to a close view of the deck of the Victory where human life is sacrificed by the hundreds, the fighting top of the Redoubtable, the fatal shot and Nelson's fall. We then see that wonderful character in his death, the solemnity, the beauty and the pathos of it all being carried out by the Edison players in all its grandeur; his farewell to Captain Hardy, the last kiss, the news of the victory and finally his death.
