==Plot==
As described in a film magazine,<ref>{{cite journal |last=Harrison |first=Louis Reeves |title=Reviews and Advertising Aids: ''Never Say Quit'' |journal=Moving Picture World |volume=39 |issue=13 |page=1839 |publisher=Chalmers Publishing Company |location=New York City |date=March 29, 1919 |url=https://archive.org/details/movingwor39chal |access-date=2014-08-19}}</ref> Reginald Jones (Walsh) is a jinx and is always getting stung. One of his stunts is to butt in when he sees a woman being ill-treated, and in one adventure is decoyed into a [badger game](/source/badger_game). As a consequence, he loses a fortune when he is unable to attend the funeral of an aunt. He goes to sea on a schooner and the passengers include a rich man and his daughter, who are treasure seekers. The captain is rough and pulls a stunt to get the rich man into his power. Reginald comes to their aid, but it's a tough situation until American sailors from [submarine chaser](/source/submarine_chaser) S.C. 143 come to the rescue, jumping the railing and knocking out the villainous crew.
