- Professor Mortimer and his daughter Helen go to a health resort for a short stay. Before leaving, Helen says good-bye to Robert Marsh, her sweetheart, who promises to join her in the course of a few days. At Clear Springs they meet acquaintances and engage in the varied sports of a big resort. Several days later Robert Marsh, Helen's sweetheart (who is a detective) arrives for a little visit with Helen. One night Count Desbro, who, with his wife and daughter, have been occupying rooms at the resort, is amazed to find a note upon the floor of his room threatening him with the loss of his daughter unless he places in the shrubbery at the comer of the terrace the sum of $2,000. The note was signed "The Mysterious Man." Loving his daughter above all things, the Count thought it safe to yield to the blackmailer, and that night "the mysterious man," a slender, well-built fellow, wearing a wide hat and heavy beard, crept into the terrace and slipped away with the money. In the morning Desbro related his experience to the guests, and with his wife and daughter hurriedly left the resort. Some time later, "the mysterious man" sought out a fresh victim. Finding a stray boy on the street, "the mysterious man" gave him a threatening note to the aged and wealthy Greville. When the old gentleman received the note, he promptly telephoned the police, who set upon the track of the boy at once. Convinced of the child's innocence, the police were nonplussed. Meanwhile Greville is deliberately shot by "the mysterious man" in the grounds about the big hotel. Robert Marsh found many happy moments alone with Helen, until finally the news of these outrages impressed him and he confided his intentions to her of running down the guilty party. Most of the guests left the resort. Marsh's intention to take up the case was accentuated by the conduct of Professor Mortimer, when he found Marsh making love to Helen. Calling at police headquarters, Marsh closely examined the two threatening notes written to Count Desbro and Greville. His quick mind discovered a peculiarity in these notes, namely, that the writer was evidently in the habit of not crossing his "Ts." With this scant clue, Marsh took his way back to the hotel. In the meantime Helen and her father had a stormy interview and he made her write a letter to Marsh, asking him not to attempt to see her again. To this note Mortimer himself appended a brisk line of warning against Marsh attempting to see his daughter. When Marsh received the note, despite his sorrow, he was amazed to find that Mortimer had failed to cross his "Ts." Although tortured by a terrible suspicion, Detective Marsh prepared a trap for the unknown criminal. With the chief of police and an assistant, he wrote a letter to Professor Mortimer commanding that the sum of one thousand dollars be placed on his desk that night under pain of death for refusal. This the trio signed "the mysterious man." When Mortimer received this note his teeth chattered with terror and his courage almost failed him. Determined to find out who had learned his secret, he arrayed himself in his wide black hat, long coat and beard, and, revolver in hand, took up his vigil behind the desk. That night Marsh and his two assistants, hooded and masked, greeted "the mysterious man" in his own lair. A hand-to-hand fight followed, in which Marsh tore off the disguise of "the mysterious man," showing him as none other than Professor Mortimer. Behind the door Helen watched with mingled feelings. Her shriek brought Marsh to her side, thus proving that while Helen had lost a dangerous and worthless father, she had gained a better and stronger protector.
