Plot edit
As described in a film magazine review,[4] John Strong, a dominatingly strong willed fisherman who is loved by a young woman who lives in his mother’s home meets and marries the daughter of a bookseller, but then loses her love to his brother Neil. One night a storm wrecks his brother’s boat. He refuses to go to the rescue until he is told that he is the only man on the coast who can save the one who is in peril. Following the successful rescue of his brother, he realizes he has no right to the love of the woman he has wed. He leaves the village, but not before he learns that the young woman who adored him before he was married will await his return.
