The Torrent

Ernest Leeds (Frank Elliott) is the love ’em and leave ’em type, and he’s having a blast on board an ocean liner. Another voyager is Hale Garrison (William Farnum), a hunter who is returning from the jungles. He meets Gloria Manner (Ora Carew) while sailing and falls in love with her instantly. They engage in a mock marriage, which turns out to be real, since the captain performed it at sea. Gloria is not thrilled to be linked with Garrison “’til death do them part,” so she tries to get out of it. Garrison spirits her away to a mountain cabin where he wins her by showing her who’s boss. Leeds, who wanted Gloria for himself, shows up with a gang that throws Garrison into a torrent. He manages to escape, however, and when he is revived, he finds himself in Gloria’s embrace.
