Desc: A Romance of the Everglades: Directed by Charles H. France. With Herbert Prior, Mabel Trunnelle, Richard Tucker, Elsie MacLeod. Wayne Barrow met Norah Everett in the swimming pool of a gigantic Florida hotel. Their meeting was entirely unconventional. Wayne, peacefully paddling about, was suddenly roused by a terrified shriek, and the spectacle of a young lady, fully dressed, floundering in the water. Norah had fallen overboard while watching the bathers. Wayne saved the young lady from her embarrassing position, and laughingly deprecated her exaggerated thanks. The unusual meeting led to a closer intimacy between the two. Wayne and Norah strolled about under the wonderful southern moon, and grew very fond of each other. Then suddenly Wayne discovered that she was engaged to Phillip Carew. Feeling that life held no more for him. Wayne immediately set off on a surveying trip in the Florida everglades. A short time after he left, Norah and her party went to Palm Beach. Near the famous winter resort, Carew met May Lou, the daughter of a typical Florida "Cracker." The girl's fresh, uncultivated beauty made a deep impression on the young man. He was very attentive to her, greatly to the displeasure of her father, and her sweetheart, Bat Peterson. One day Carew took May Lou out rowing. An attempt to change places resulted in the capsizing of the boat. Carew was rescued by May Lou's father; May Lou disappeared completely. Carew, handed over to the sheriff, speedily found himself in grave danger from the infuriated country folk, who held him responsible for the girl's death. With the sheriff's aid he took refuge in a shack while the sheriff held off the enraged people from the door. Norah and her chaperon, learning of Carew's danger, came to his assistance and managed to enter the shack. A moment later the flimsy building was in flames. May Lou had not been drowned. Washed ashore by the strong current, she had been found by Wayne Barrow returning from his surveying trip. Wayne and the girl arrived just in time to save Carew from a nasty position and then Wayne learned to his delight that he had no rival in Norah's affections.
