Wendell Martin, the gang's leader, is also in love with Mary and lures her aboard a yacht by telling her that Charles is held prisoner below deck. Jack makes a narrow escape when Martin's men force his motorcycle off a cliff. He then learns of Mary's peril and gives chase, fighting Martin and his gang until the police arrive. The smugglers are arrested, and Jack wins Mary.
What No Man Knows Synopsis
Norma Harvey, a newspaperwoman who devotes much of her time to relieving the sufferings of slum children, still loves her childhood sweetheart, Craig Dunlap, a lawyer who tries to cover up his wife's kleptomania by bribing a witness at her trial. Dunlap, however, is exposed and disbarred. While working in the slums, Norma encounters him in a disreputable dive and takes him to her home along with little Mazie, a blind orphan. Two gossipy neighbors declare her morally unfit, and the child is removed from her custody. On Norma's advice, Dunlap decides to give his wife another chance, but he demands a divorce when he finds her rough-housing with friends. She refuses, but when he threatens to allow her to be arrested for the theft of a fur, she consents. After proving her worthiness, Norma regains the child and finds happiness with Craig.
