Synopsis
A prolog shows the soul of Pauline Vandermuellen reincarnated in various personalities from one generation to another. In the action proper, Pauline tells her parents, while she is in a trance, of a romance she experienced in Spain years before. Annoyed at his daughter's preference for young Dr. Grant, her father sends her on a Caribbean cruise. During another dream state she describes the general location of a buried treasure; and when her greedy father takes a search party to the island indicated, she misleads him and takes her lover instead to the location revealed in her dream. After finding the treasure, he wins her father's consent to their marriage.
