The head of the smugglers is Girot, gruff, but kindhearted, devoted to his daughter, Jean, who is not aware of his business. She is loved by, but does not return the passion of Luca Marino, one of the smuggler band, who is madly jealous. Harry Carlton is appointed to the U.S. Customs Service and assigned to this district, under his father, who is the collector. Harry, unknown, volunteers to get information concerning the illicit trade, and takes up his residence in the village, where a love affair develops between him and Jean. Luca, furious that Girot will not advocate his suit, determines to betray the smugglers and makes his way to Colonel Carlton's office. He gives information after Carlton has given his word of honor never to reveal the name of the traitor. Harry, meanwhile, has gained much information concerning the smuggling, and is keeping close watch on the band. A smuggler overhears a customs officer declare that there is a traitor in the band, and communicates this fact to Girot. Harry is captured and the smugglers propose to use him as a means of obtaining the name of the traitor who, according to their code, is doomed to death. The terms are laid before Carlton that if he will tell the name of the traitor, Harry will be released. The colonel cannot, even to save his son's life, break his word of honor. Luca urges that Harry be killed at once. But Girot protests against the murder, and a fight starts among the smugglers. In attempting to defend Harry, Girot is killed. Meanwhile, Jean has learned of her lover's plight, and in a fast motorboat has gone to secure aid. With a number of customs officers, she arrives just in time to save Harry. In resisting the officers, Luca is killed. For Jean's sake, the fact that Girot was of the smuggler band is kept secret, and in due time she forgets her grief in her love for Harry.
