A rural melodrama with a dash of high seas adventure on the Waitemata Harbour and a race up Queen Street, Auckland to the finish.
The film opens with a prologue in which a soldier farewells his fiancée, Margaret, before departing for the Boer War. She falls pregnant and, for her sins, is cast out by her stern Scottish uncle. After finding refuge with a poor rural family Margaret dies soon after her baby girl, Mary, is born. She leaves a pair of booties and an address to be used “if ever the child is in need.”
Mary grows up among the Codlin family. Her uncle dies leaving a will in which Mary is the sole benefactor, provided she reaches the lawyer by a specified time. In an attempt to claim the money for himself the uncle’s grasping secretary, Murgatroyd, kidnaps Mary. She is rescued by her naval officer suitor and the pair race down Queen Street to the lawyer’s office, arriving in the nick of time. The film ends happily when the pair marry.
