"pvEAD MEN TELL NO TALES"— the murderous motto of the cold-blooded Senor Santos. The big gold strike J—/ in Australia was on. He lusted for a share of the yellow treasure being shipped from the mines. With that lust fas born his devilish creed. He tempted and won the captain of the treasure ship. Gunpowder was secretly put I aboard with the gold. And when the little ship and its cargo of gold and human beings sailed away, the dastardly design to blow it up at sea was full blown. Lifeboats were scuttled. None but the black-hearted rascals would escape.
Squire Rattray, well meaning but weak, is drawn into the murderous scheme by his love for Eva, the fair daughter \o( the villain Santos. With his private yacht he is to pick up the villains and their loot. Among the unsuspecting passengers is Cole, a young barrister. He and the lovely Eva are strangely attracted to each other. Then ( comes the fatal night — the removal of the gold by Santos and his gang. They steal away from the doomed ship and jthen comes the blast of the touched off gunpowder. The staunch little schooner is rent into a thousand pieces and with its human cargo of men, women and children scattered over the lonely waste. Cole alone escapes and later is picked jup by a passing vessel. On reaching home the scoundrels seek to kill him.
