Plot
On a beautiful summer day a father and mother take their daughter Dollie on an outing to the river. The mother refuses to buy a passing peddler's wares. The peddler tries to rob the mother, but the father rushes up and drives away the ruffian. The peddler then returns to his nearby camp and devises a plan. He and his female companion return and kidnap Dollie while her parents are distracted. A rescue party is quickly organized to find the girl, but the peddler and companion take her back their camp. They gag Dollie, put her in a wooden barrel, and seal its top before the rescue party arrives at the camp. Once the searchers leave, the peddler and his companion escape in their wagon. As the wagon crosses the river, the barrel falls into the water. Still sealed in the container, Dollie is swept downstream in dangerous currents. Soon a boy who is fishing along the riverbank finds the barrel, calls out to Dollie's frantic father to help him hoist it out of the water. The father unseals the barrel and daughter and parent are happily reunited.
