- Angela Gaskell travels and sails around the Pacific Ocean to rescue the man she loves, John Somers. Her task takes her from San Francisco bondage-servitude to a dance-hall in Honolulu to a remote South Seas island. She survives a shipwreck along the way.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- Angela Gaskell is the daughter of Captain Gaskell, master of the S.S. Comet. Lee Marvin, who works for the shipping firm that employs the captain, sets about wooing Angela. When the Comet is wrecked in a storm at sea, Captain Gaskell's life is saved by John Somers, the first mate. Marvin thanks Somers, and Angela becomes interested in Somers, despite that fact he is given to drunken sprees.
Angela goes to work in Marvin's office. When a new ship is readied, Somers is the best available man for master. But Marvin refuses to employ Somers because of his problem with liquor. Angela intercedes, and Marvin agrees to give Somers the job if he can put up a ten thousand dollar bond. Unknown to Marvin, Angela and her father mortgage their home and put up the bond for Somers. When the ship docks in San Francisco, a large sum of money is discovered missing from the ship's safe. Marvin believes that Somers may have inadvertently helped the thief by being drunk at the time. Somers is discharged, forfeits his bond, and leaves for the South Pacific. Angela becomes engaged to Marvin. Then she receives a note from Somers, who is operating a small trading vessel. He has enclosed five hundred dollars to apply against his debt. Angela confesses to her father, and then Marvin, that she cannot marry him.
She leaves for the South Sea islands to find Somers. She meets him in a dive, where he has been drinking heavily. She goes on board his vessel, and while he is below drinking, she wrecks it on the rocks of a deserted island.
In San Francisco, Somers' former first mate confesses to Marvin that he was the thief. Marvin sails to find Angela and Somers. On the deserted island, Somers has given up drink and has found love with Angela. Marvin rescues the pair and rewards Somers with a position as master. Angela and Somers marry.
