Lord Manton takes his wife on board the Titanic, and they decide to take their daughter, who got into trouble, with them at the last minute. Lord Manton barely survives the sinking, as he didn't board a lifeboat. He was forced to swim in the water for a long time, but a lifeboat pulled him back just in time. Dorothy Gibson uses some brandy to revive him. Later on the Carpathia, he is reunited with his wife.
