Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dolly has two ardent admirers and it becomes a delicate matter to choose between them, so, while staying at Santa Catalina Island, California, with her father, she hits upon a novel plan. The scheme is that her admirers enter a fishing contest. The one who has the largest fish by four o’clock that afternoon is to win her. As luck will have it, the one she cares the most for has the smallest when the contest is about to close. However, fate intervenes, for while the apparent lucky one is gloating over his success a large seal hope out of the water and gobbles his big catch, making the other fellow the victor after all.
