- Country doctor Samuel Mudd is unfairly punished by the U.S. Government after he unwisely shelters a wounded John Wilkes Booth during the night after Abraham Lincoln's assassination.
- "Taken at the Dry Tortugas, and shows the most powerful fighting machine in the world today as she lies at anchor taking on coal. The decks are covered with marines and sailors. An immense barge lies along side, from which a large gang of negroes are hustling 'King Coal' into the the battleship, on whose decks the coal passers run to and fro. The view is taken from a moving yacht and gives the effect of the vessel itself passing through the water. As the yacht passed the starboard quarter, the powerful 13-inch, 8-inch and 6-inch guns bristle from their turrets. She looks every inch of her great length, 348 feet. The photograph is excellent."
- The British Government runs hospitals for the native population on two islands off Australia's west coast, one for each sex. Because of the incompetent staff, young Dr. Hicksey is sent there, and he succeeds in obtaining the services of a capable nurse, Alice Desmond. Hicksey, who took the position for the opportunity to do research, resists Alice's sexual overtures, until exhausted after a hurricane he succumbs and becomes her lover. Gradually Hicksey tires of Alice as his research work causes her to complain of neglect. After they have a furious quarrel, John Sherwin, the burly overseer of the men's island, sees his chance to win Alice. When she resists his caveman advances and tells Hicksey, the men stalk each other throughout a night in the jungle. After Sherwin emerges and reports that he killed Hicksey, Alice says that she hated him anyway, and they plan to marry. Hicksey, however, is only wounded, and after a native treats him, he leaves the islands.
- One man had a dream to deploy thirty-six artificial reefs off the coast of Southwest Florida. 18,000 tons of material and no government money.
- "Shows the U.S. Battle Ship 'Iowa' at anchor at the rendezvous near the Dry Tortugas. The camera was placed on a small yacht, which approaches and passes the battle ship, thus giving a complete view of one side of this mammoth war machine. The picture was taken on the sailors' wash day, and on the line stretches along the fore part of the vessel is hung their apparel. The picture is exceedingly sharp and the cannon are plainly shown as they project from the different turrets and portholes. The American flag is flying from the mast and waves in the breeze. Some distance from the stern of the vessel are two targets, and a number of sailors are seen rowing in small boats. This is a most excellent picture of the vessel and is exceptionally good from a photgraphic standpoint."
- "Shows the gunboat 'Castine,' assembled with the fleet in the Dry Tortugas. The view is taken from a steam launch, which approaches and passes the vessel. The decks are filled with sailors and marines, while the gunners are shown leaning over the guns from the various port-holes. The flag which is trailing from the stern is very large, and as it waves in the breezes produces a fine effect. In the background is seen the sidewheeler 'Whitney.' The picture is sharp and clear."
- "An excellent picture of the protected cruiser type. The 'Cincinnati' is about 300 feet in length, and as she swings at anchor at the Dry Tortugas, she presents a magnificent spectacle. From the main mast floats the American flag, and from the forward tops are swung the signal lanterns. Her death dealing guns seem to point directly at our camera. The massive barbettes, turrets and armored belt look invulnerable. A sailor at the stern is signaling to the 'Indiana' close by. He frantically waves a blue flag, white square in the center (P in the International Code.) Several small boats moving in the foreground lend action to the scene. A very interesting subject."
- "Taken at the Dry Tortugas, where the 'Nashville' is awaiting orders to sail. She is a gunboat, built in 1893, of about 1400 tons displacement. She differs in design from the rest of our navy, having very tall unprotected smokestacks. As she goes out of view, smoke is seen rising from the rear funnel. The honor of capturing the first prize of the war, the Buena Ventura (literally 'Good Luck') belongs to this speedy gunboat. A very strong picture, outlines well defined. The water is wonderfully calm and the reflection effects are marvelous for an ocean view."
- "This picture shows the cruiser 'Detroit' lying at anchor in the Dry Tortugas. The effect produced is as though the vessel were approaching and passing the audience. The decks are filled with marines and sailors, while at the companionways of the vessel are clustered many boats and launches. The American flag is waving from the stern. The picture is sharp and clear."
- At the southernmost tip of the continental U.S., the Florida Keys extend into the sapphire-blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Host Kara Tsuboi spends her time out on the water, snorkeling colorful reefs and paddling amid a tangle of mangrove islands. On a remote gulf island, Kara explores a massive Civil War fort, and in the heart of Key West, she enjoys fresh lobster benedict from one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite restaurants!
