Jim is a bad loser and on the voyage of the good ship "Robert Graham" more trouble brews over the cabin boy, who is championed by Jack when Jim wants to hit him. All this so works on the morbid mind of Jim that he decides on a terrible revenge, in which he must sacrifice everyone in his desire to revenge himself on Jack. Just before Jim is to take his trick at the wheel he steals into the hold and lays a time fuse into the powder room, then going above and relieving the helmsman, he lowers the only boat and tows away. In a few minutes there is a terrific explosion and the great schooner is blown to atoms. Jim thinks all are lost and returns with the awful news that all are gone to a watery grave, but Jack, floating ashore on a spar, lives long enough to tell the true story, which leads to the arrest of Jim. The poor girl who awaited the coming of her lover so patiently burns her wedding dress and we last see her in the cloisters of a nunnery. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
