Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[2] Captain Medina's daughter Dolores meets British trader Gerald Wilton aboard her father's ship. When the Captain dies, Wilton promises to take care of Dolores. When she learns that Wilton is already married, the young woman runs away and becomes a dancer in a tropical café. When his wife dies, Wilton finds that he is now free to rejoin Dolores. When he finds her, she rejects him. Her father's friends then combine to grab Wilton and hang him, but Dolores intervenes to save him. Dolores and Wilton are reconciled.
