Plot: Robert, son of a rich contractor, falls in love with Nancy, who lives with Grandfather Tom Darrell in a small fishing village. Grandfather Tom is so bitter against "city folks" that the young man disguises himself as one of his own laborers on the jetty. Robert discovers that the fisher people are in open revolt against the construction of the jetty. Although it is for the protection of their homes, it inevitably will cut off some of their fishing privileges. Young Dacey does some daring detective work to safeguard his father's interests. This also leads him into a position to save Nancy from the compromising attentions of a fellow of evil reputation. Grandfather Tom, on learning Robert's identity, does not oppose his marriage with Nancy.
