Synopsis
Madeline Grey, a young woman wintering in the tropics, is urgently summoned home to San Francisco. Accompanied by Walter Maxwell, a friend, she engages return passage on a schooner owned by Bucko McAllister, known as the Brute Master because of his tyrannical behavior. Once at sea, a crew member mutinies and sets the ship on fire after locking McAllister in his cabin. Maxwell, the crew and Madeline escape to a nearby island, thinking that McAllister is dead. On the island they discover that he is alive, and he takes charge of survivors. After constant contact with Madeline, his brutish nature mellows and he falls in love with her. In the meantime, Maxwell attempts to discredit McAllister by framing him for the theft of one of the native's idols, but McAllister exposes his treachery. When the rescue ship finally arrives, McAllister and Madeline remain on the island together.
