Bedford Austin, bored with social life, decides to go camping. Evelyn Creyton, a society girl, persuades her father to go camping with her. One day while fishing at the brook, young Austin accidentally falls and sprains his ankle. Miss Creyton finds him unconscious and, dipping her handkerchief in the water, places it on Austin's forehead. Love at first sight makes Austin forget his aching ankle. A few days later, Austin shows Miss Creyton a ring that he prizes highly. The ring is dropped unnoticed by either of them. Miss Creyton finally discovers the ring two or three days later and writes a note, pins it on a twig of a tree and sticks it into the ground on the spot where Austin is accustomed to sit while fishing. Austin discovers the note the following morning. In it, Miss Creyton tells Austin that she has returned to the city, and if he ever comes there, to look for his ring that he lost one day at the brook, and that where he finds the ring he will find her. Austin gives instructions to his valet to pack up and return to the city immediately. A few months later, Austin attends a reception where he meets the fair Evelyn. The ring is returned to its owner and a new one placed on the engagement finger of the charming young society debutante.
