Aboard his yacht bound for the South Seas, Sam pays more attention to his guests than to his wife, and she flees when he attempts to force liquor on her. A sudden paralytic stroke renders him helpless, and she believes him dead. A storm comes up, and Velma is washed ashore on a desert isle. She is later joined by Lieut. Paul Mack, whose hydroplane has run out of fuel. They fall in love, but their idyll is broken when they are captured by a band of moonshiners. After suffering torture, they escape and go to Velma's home in California, where they find Sam alive--but a hopeless cripple. Velma feels obligated to her husband and refuses to see Paul again. Realizing the wrong he has done his wife, Sam violates his doctor's orders by taking an overdose of whiskey, and he dies. Velma is free to marry Paul, and together they take an airplane trip back to the scene of their first meeting. Written by AFI See less
