Synopsis

Arthur Worden, who runs a mission on San Francisco's Barbary Coast, is derided by chorus girl Freda Maxey when he asks her to attend services. These two meet again on board a ship when Freda is bound for Europe and Warden is on his way to the Orient to "save souls." There is a shipwreck and both are washed ashore on a distant and isolated island. Many days of close companionship erases the antagonism between the self-righteous preacher and the brazen dancer, and finally love blossoms between them. The preacher, believing it to be nothing more than primitive passion, fights an inward struggle, until the appearance of another castaway forces him to recognize the pure love that has developed between them.
