One morning Jeanne is seen by Jack and his friends. They admire her beauty. "Sport" Hamlin, one of the party, tries to flirt with the girl. He is cut coldly. On returning to his friends he offers to wager a hundred dollars none of them can do any better than he did. Jack, already interested in the girl, takes up the bet. Jack, to carry out his plans, secures a job as a boat man; he believes that his chance with the girl would be better if she thought him in her own station of life.
