Mr. Burrows pays a visit to Masters and is followed to the fisherman's cottage by Tanala, a Greek, who is in love with Mrs. Burrows. Tanala fires through the window of the cottage mortally wounding Burrows. He is pursued by Patrick Masters, but manages to elude him. Meanwhile, Burrows succeeds in scrawling a few words in a book on the table before him, ere he falls back dead. The book containing the note is put away in a drawer with its precious message unseen, and Patrick Masters is tried and convicted for the murder of Burrows. A year passes by, and poor old Masters has died in prison. Tanala, the Greek, is now engaged to Mrs. Burrows. Her daughter, Fifi, is strongly opposed to the match, and does all in her power to prevent it. Sam Masters, the ne'er-do-well son of the dead fisherman, finds the book containing the message, "I have been shot by Tanala. John Burrows," and determines to blackmail the Greek. Young Masters visits Tanala's home, and his interview with Tanala is overheard by Fifi. Tanala gives Sam a small sum of money, and secretly tears the incriminating page out of the book. Then he returns the book to the fisherman, telling him that he may do what he will with it. Fifi Burrows steals the torn-out page and hides it in the base of a statuette. Later, Sam, discovering that Tanala has outwitted him, throws himself into the sea and is drowned. Sam's dead body is recovered from the sea and the book is also found. On examination, it is discovered that the message written in ink in the book has penetrated through to another page, and the evidence against Tanala remains unaltered. Mrs. Masters is summoned to attend Fifi, who is ill, and the girl produces the leaf she has hidden in the statuette, exposing Tanala's villainy in time to prevent his marriage to her mother.
