Synopsis

When penniless Westie Phillips briefly meets wealthy Martha Gorham, he falls in love, but Martha forgets the encounter. Harry Arnold, courting Martha, invites her out sailing and arranges to have the yacht wrecked near an uncharted island, so that he can be alone with her until rescuers arrive. Meanwhile, without knowing Martha is on board, Westie secures a position on the yacht. He recognizes her, but she cannot remember him. Westie discovers Arnold's plans for Martha, and after the arranged wreck, he follows them to the island. Arnold offers Westie a fortune to leave, and after his refusal, a deranged Arnold tries to kill Martha. Westie saves her, they sight a rescue ship, and Martha realizes that she does, indeed, love him.
