Silas Terry, known by his neighbors as Uncle Terry is the keeper of "The Cape" lighthouse, along the shore of Southport Island. On a stormy day, he looks out and sees something in the water. He then rescues a baby floating in a trunk and with his wife Mellissa they raise up Etelka "Telly" Peterson. Years later when they see an advert in the Newspaper, they suspect that Telly is the recipient of a large inheritance and seek out the lawyer who posted the ad, the unscrupulous Nicolas Frye. But as Uncle Terry always says, "Thar's a sucker born every minit and two ter ketch him!"
