- In an out-of-the-way spot in the mountains refugees from the United States and Canada, who are wanted for various crimes, have gathered. A man wanted for embezzlement arrives with his daughter Pauline. The embezzler is a natural leader and, to James' chagrin, becomes the leading spirit in the colony. Two members of the Northwest Mounted Police, Lon and Mac, are on the embezzler's trail. The embezzler, without James' knowledge, stations his men and instructs them to fire on the police. Mac is wounded. The embezzler's daughter takes him to her cabin. On one occasion the girl leaves the cabin and confers with her father. Lon follows and learns that her father is the man they are seeking. Believing that he has the girl at his mercy, Lon makes advances. Mac interferes because he, also, has fallen in love with Pauline. Lon then tells him of the girl's father. Mac goes to James and demands the surrender of the embezzler. James complies, and Mac arrests Pauline's father. The girl then appeals to Lon, promising him everything if he will save her parent. Lon lifts his revolver to shoot Mac. However, other refugees mistake Lon's intention. Lon is shot, and as they shoot at Mac the embezzler is killed. They are about to finish their work when another one of the mounted police comes up and covers them, while Mac disarms them. The girl looks from her dead father to Mac, whom she has already learned to love.
- Marengo Avenue in Pasadena, is first on the canvas. Its over-arching pepper trees make a sight not equaled elsewhere in America. Westmoreland Place, Pasadena, is followed by a view of the famous Busch gardens, property of the wealthy St. Louis brewer. Then follows delightful glimpses of the ascent of Mt. Lowe. This journey takes in the longest curving trestle in the United States, the "Gate Above the Clouds," and finally we reach the top of Mt. Lowe, 6,100 feet above the level of the sea and 2,000 feet higher than Lick Observatory. The world-famous Cawston ostrich farm is next where we see the visitors feeding Mr. and Mrs. Taft, largest ostriches in the world, with oranges. Also, the California alligator farm, with its 1,000 alligators of varying years and sizes. We see Okeechobee, 500 years old and over 16 feet in length. Then we are taken to the famous California oil well where we note with amazement that oil is being pumped even in the front yards of residences. Historic San Gabriel Mission is next. We observe that magnificent home of Paul de Longpre, America's most famous flower painter. Then for the Los Angeles pigeon farm, where 500,000 white pigeons make a fairy snow storm as we stroll through the yard.
- After running to the top of the cable incline in the picture listed above ['Ascending Mt. Low, California' (q.v.)], our camera was placed on the front end of a trolley car and the trip to the summit began, passing through Rubio Cañon which is the most thrilling portion of the entire trip up Mt. Low. This wonderful subject was taken 8,000 feet above the level of the sea and gives an audience some idea of the grand scenery in the vast Sierra Madre Mountains. When ascending the summit of Rubio Cañon you are far above the clouds and in close touch with the grandest productions of nature, which will surely be a revelation and will delight and interest an audience who are fortunate enough to see this most remarkable picture. The above picture will be sold in one length only.
- Story opens with a Fade in at the beach showing people bathing, etc. Then to a closeup of two little colored twins playing the sand, also a little white baby tickling it's father's feet, who is buried in the sand. We also show a fat man bringing in a dish of ice cream to a customer. The waiter sits it down and before his customer has time to eat it, it melts. He then goes to a colored man dressed very nicely. He in turn is very warm and perspiring freely. He wipes off his brow with his hand showing the black perspiration. He throws the black perspiration out and it lands on a white sheet or a cloth nearby. We not get over people trying to keep cool. A man has a cake of ice and charges ten cents a piece to sit on it and keep cool. A big line of people is seen waiting for a sit. We introduce Monty in a closeup showing him perspiring and we get over he is very warm. There is a plumber working by his feet. The plumber's torch is under Monty's chair, which causes Monty to be very warm. He discovers this and sees the cake of ice and goes over to get cooled off. He arrives but there is one fat man ahead of him. The fat man sits on the cake of ice and we show the cake melting fast. The fat man gets up, Monty picks up the little piece of ice that is left and looks at it. The ice man hangs up a sign, "Out of Ice", Monty is sore, puts hands to sun trying to shade his eyes, He looks and sees a shadow on the sand and goes to it and sits down and is very cool. We disclose it is the fat man that is causing Monty to be so cool as he is sitting in the fat man's shadow. The fat man is looking through a pair of field passes at a bunch of bathing beauties. The fat man moves, leaving Monty in the sun so he tries to keep in his shadow, Finally a tall man enters and talks to the fat man. The fat man exits, leaving the tall man in his place, Monty is now in the sun. He looks up and sees the slim man, gets sore, finally sees the fat man again, goes to him and sits in his shadow. The fat man starts to move around and Monty follows him. They enter set where Monty steps on a piece of paper on the sand. He is very cool now. In fact he is sitting on a fellows head that is hiding in the sand. We show the fellow's legs kicking around, etc, Monty doesn't see this. The fat man moves again followed by Monty crawling. They enter another set, Monty still crawling and falls in a hole. He gets out, the fat man starts to back our. Monty also backs out. The fat man all the time trying to get a good look at the bathing girls. The fat man backs Monty into a camp fire and burns him. They back out again on to the beach where a big wave hits Monty, knocking him in a heap. He starts to swim when the wave goes out he is just swimming on the sand. The fat man gives in the water. Monty is all wet, gets up sore and exits. We introduce the heavy, reading a newspaper. He reads insert of paper "Rich heiress and father stopping at local hotel. It is rumored a detective has been employed to keep fortune hunters away." The heavy puts it over. We introduce the girl and her father who is very ill and has come to the beach to regain his health. They are seated in front of the hotel. The girl leaves idling her father she will return shortly. Monty is seen on a set wringing out his coat, the sleeves turn inside out. His watch is hanging from the chain, the girl passes, Monty accidentally throws his watch out of his coat and it lands at the girl's feet. She sees it, picks it up, realizes where it came from, goes to Monty and gives it to him and exits, before Monty has time to thank her. Monty puts his coat wrong side to and goes to the girl to thank her. She sees the coat, starts to laugh and exits, Monty discovers his mistake, puts coat on right side and gets idea to get acquainted with her. He takes out his handkerchief and exits to girl. He taps her on the shoulder, she looks around but does not see anyone. When she turns around again Monty picks up handkerchief and says "Did you drop your handkerchief". The girl takes it and thanks him and puts it in her purse leaving Monty flat. Monty looks and sees her purse. He gets an idea and exits to a clothing stand where he buys cap, red handkerchief and duster coat. He sneaks up, grabs purse and ducks in a doorway as the girl turns she just sees the end of his cost tails disappear. She screams for help, While her head is turned Monty gets out of doorway canes in front as though nothing had happened. She tells him a crook snatched her purse and went in there pointing to the door way, Monty very dramatically says "I will get it for you" and goes inside. Quickly puts on cap, handkerchief and coat and plays a dual role. First his head is seen as the crook, then himself straight, being choked and punched in the face. Maybe a gun play is shown. All the time the girl thinks a terrible struggle is going on. The heavy, who is nearby, sees the girl in distress, goes to her. She points and he sees Monty as the crook. He tells her he will help Monty. The heavy goes in the doorway and is thrown out on his head and lands in a heap coo-coo. The girl goes to him. Monty sees this as he is playing the crook. He stops, takes off cap, etc, and comes out with the purse. Hands it to the girl, she admires him but the heavy gets up sore and they walk out of the set. The heavy trying to get the girl away from Monty. As they pass a fruit stand, Monty grabs a banana, throws it back at the heavy. He slips on, but doesn't fall, but the girl does not see this and keeps on talking with Monty. The heavy gets up, he has torn his pants in the fall and goes in a tailor shop for repairs, We go to the beach hotel and show the girl's father coming out to get the sunshine. A bellboy is carrying a steamer chair and helping the old man. The girl and Monty enter, she introduces Monty and tells her father how he rescued her purse. Monty takes the chair from the bellboy, and proceeds to put it up. Meantime we show the heavy leaving the tailor shop and starting toward the hotel. Monty by now is all tangled up in the chair and the old man is getting very weak. Finally Monty gets the chair up hut in doing so he puts it over a cactus plant. The old man sits on it and takes it big. The heavy sees this from another set and starts to laugh. Monty gets the old man up again and moves the chair. He sits in it to show him it is O.K. Monty again has made a blunder. He has put the chair over a sprinkler on the grass. The heavy sees Monty in the chair and he gets an idea to turn the water on. He leaves to do so but in the meantime the father takes Monty's place in the chair so when the heavy turns on the water the old man gets it. The girl helps Monty to get the father off the The heavy enters and also helps. The chair shoots up in the air from the force of the water, Monty and the heavy try to get it down. By this by this time the father is getting very weak and Monty steps over the sprinkler shutting off the water and the chair falls on his head knocking him down. The girl sees this and goes to turn the water off. The heavy and Monty work on the chair and water. The old man sits down almost out. A bunch of swell bathing girls pass and he sees them and forgets all about his illness and starts walking after them. The girl by this time has turned off the water and returned to find her father gone. The heavy and Monty have torn the chair off to pieces trying to see which one can get the chair for the father. Maybe Monty has the arm of the chair while the heavy has the back of it. The girl gets sore because she cannot find her father. And they all leave in search of him. We plant the old man under a beach-umbrella with the bathing girls, having a wonderful time. The girl finds him and he tells her to take Monty and the heavy and have a good time. They exit to the boats, Monty and the girl get seated. The heavy throws Monty's hat off and it lands in the back of the boat. Monty goes for it and we plant a colored woman in the boat so when the boat pulls out Monty in his excitement gets seated beside the colored woman. The boat goes in the darkness and comes out the other side. Monty is still besides the colored woman and is holding his eye. When he takes his hand down he has a black eye, getting over there he got fresh with the colored lady. They all leave the boat and Monty sees a fellow ringing the bell by hitting the plunder with a big mallet and gets an idea to get the heavy underneath the mallet. We play it up by Monty trying it but each time the fellow changes his position. Finally, Monty has the heavy all set for the blow when the fellow changes his position again and Monty gets the blow knocking him coo-coo. The heavy sees this and takes the girl who has been looking the other way and they exit to the merry-go-round and get on and start for a ride, Monty in the meantime, comes to and sees them and decides to buy ice-cream cones for all. He gets them and starts to chase the merry-go-round holding out the ice-cream cones in his hand but he cannot catch up to the girl so he stops and waits for the merry-go-round to come around. The girl sees him, puts out her hand to get the ice-cream but in doing so she misses the ice-cream and pushes Monty's hand, knocking the ice-cream in his eye and knocking him out of the set. He lands on a kid's go-cart and it takes him into the mallet set where a fellow accidentally hits him on the head, knocking him coo-coo again. He staggers out across the roller coaster where a car barely misses him. Then into the ocean-wave where he walks on it. Meantime the heavy and the girl get off the merry-go-round and start for the roller-coaster for a ride. Monty leaves the ocean-wave still staggering. He wanders in back of the African dodger where a colored man is getting hit on the head with balls. Just as Monty gets opposite of the colored man he ducks a ball and Monty get hit on the nose bringing him to. He shakes his head, looks around, sees the heavy and the girl at the roller-coaster waiting for a car. He goes to them. The girl asks where he has been. Monty tries to explain. Just before the car pulls out Monty ties the strap on the heavy's trousers. The car pulls him up backwards. The girl doesn't see this and Monty takes her to the ship swings. The heavy by this time crawls back down with this trousers off. Maybe he gets into a barrel. He looks and sees Monty making love to the girl near the swings. He cannot go because he has lost his trousers. A little boy happens to pass. The heavy gets an idea, calls the boy and tells him he will give him fifty cents not to lot Monty make love to the girl. The kid says "Sure" he has four sisters home and he does the same thing," The heavy leaves for a pair of pants and the boy tries to stop Monty from making love. Each time Monty tries to propose the kid butts in. Finally Monty cannot stand it any more and gives the kid $1,00 to take a ride on the airship. The kid gets in and Monty tells the operator of the swing not to stop till he tells him to. Monty starts to make violent love on his knees. The kid in the swing becomes tired of it and wants to get down. Can't. He hollers but gets no reply, He sees an anchor in the ship with a long rope attached to it and starts to let it down, as the anchor passes Monty it catches him in the back taking him up in the air. The girl sees this and gets a baby-buggy which happens to be near chases Monty around ready to catch him if he falls. The heavy sees this, runs in and gets the girl, picks her up in his arms, exits. Monty sees this from the airship and cuts the rope with his knife, falls out of the set, landing on the heavy's shoulder knocking him down. Monty starts to beat the heavy up. The father happens to be in the same set with the bathing girls. He gets up and watches the fight. The girl also looks on. The heavy nods to the girl that Monty is a good fighter. She calls her father's attention. The old man isn't so sure but he watches. Finally the heavy calls for help as Monty is beating him up very badly. The father calls a halt. Monty gets up and the heavy goes to the father hands him a paper and tells him he quits his job! Monty looks on and can't figure it out! The father hands the paper. He opens it and read, Insert "Something about "I, Mike Kelly, ex-prize fighter agrees to prevent any suitors from making love, etc." Monty feels bad to think he has been tricked. He asks the father if this is true. The old man says it is. Monty starts to leave disheartened. The girl gets him by the hand and brings him back. The heavy leaves disgusted, the father explains everything to Monty. He takes the girl and exits arm in arm. We show a shot where they stop to talk. Monty is standing on a fellow buried in the sand. The fellow gets up knocking Monty on his head. Monty excuses himself and the girl and Monty walk down the beach arm in arm. FADE OUT.

Then comes a trip on pony back and finally a long ride on an electric trolley car which brings the tourist to Inspiration Point. The vista before the eye is of superb grandeur. The observer can easily see Los Angeles which is fully fifty miles away.

- The Mt. Lowe Cable Incline and Electric Railroad Company is the owner of a railroad which represents wonderful features of engineering skill. We have made pictures during the entire trip over this wonderful road from the foot to the summit of Mt. Lowe, the top of which is some 12,000 feet above sea level. This beautiful picture was taken from the front of the great cable incline car, which makes an ascent of 1,500 feet in a distance of 1,200 yards, and the ride up in the cable incline car is most thrilling. The passengers are carried about one-third the distance in a cable car when they are changed to the electric line which takes them to the summit. Sold complete or in separate lengths.
