I downloaded and looked at the plugin. There does not seem anything wrong with that line.

However, the plugin file uses DOS line endings.

If so, you probably need to convert the line endings to match your system.

Although Vim can source scripts Unix-style line endings on Windows, for some reason the reverse does not work.
