Desc: Beatrice Fairfax Episode 15: Wristwatches: With Grace Darling, Edgar L. Davenport, Evelyn Farris, Harry Fox. Clinton Harding of the U.S. Revenue Service, sleuthing for smugglers at Smith Harbor, falls in love with Dorothy Dane, the niece of Donald Dane, of whose occupation as a smuggler Harding is unaware. He tells Dorothy of his love and when he bids her good night at her cottage inadvertently leaves his gun. he is stopping at the village hotel and late that night goes to the cottage for his gun which he finds against a tree near the old well, just where he left it. He is about to return when he sees Dane and two fishermen slide down the well rope. Harding hides his gun in the bushes and follows them. At the bottom he comes upon a large cave which extends through the cliff to the sea. He sees Dane and his helpers taking cargo from a small boat at the cave's opening but before he can get away with his information he is discovered by the smugglers and overpowered. Two days later Beatrice Fairfax received a letter from Dorothy saying that her sweetheart has mysteriously disappeared. At the same time Jimmy Barton, a reporter on the same paper with Beatrice, who has been on the trail of the smuggling story, learns that Harding has not been heard from by his chief in two days. The fact that both disappearances occurred at Smith Harbor leads the reporter to connect the two. He advises Beatrice to pay a visit to Dorothy and without taking Beatrice into the secret goes down to Smith Harbor himself disguised as a peddler. While Beatrice is talking to Dorothy, Jimmy as the peddler appears and arouses Dorothy's interests by a display of wristwatches. Dane coming up is induced to put on what he thinks is a watch, but which is in reality a symograph. "That won't tell," he says. "No," Jimmy replies. "It tells secrets. I can sell it cheap because I buy from smugglers." The hand on the dial of the instrument attached to Dane's wrist rises to "high" and Jimmy is elated. As he is going away he stumbles over Harding's shotgun and observes the initials G.H. carved on the stock. He looks down the well and mentally connects it with Harding's disappearance. Quickly hiding his pack Jimmy writes a note telling Beatrice to summon the revenue officers and creeping to the edge of the cliff drops it at Beatrice's feet as she is returning to the village from her visit to Dorothy. Jimmy then returns to the well and lowers himself by means of the rope. He finds the cave at the bottom and sees Harding bound in one corner. He crawls to him unobserved by the smugglers and cuts his bonds, returning to the well opening, where he shouts, "Didn't I tell you that watch told secrets?" As the smugglers rush for him Jimmy climbs up the rope, and Harding running the other way escapes by diving into the sea. The revenue officers arrive in time to arrest the smugglers and the lovers are made happy in their reunion.
