Synopsis
Aloma, a beautiful dancer on Paradise Island, is jealously guarded by her lover, Nuitane. When Red Malloy, a dishonest trader, annoys her, Bob Holden, an American seeking to forget an unhappy love affair, defends her and wins her allegiance. Andrew Taylor, learning that his niece, Sylvia, who deserted Bob, is coming to the island with her husband, Van Templeton, sends Bob and Aloma to his plantation, though Nuitane objects. Aloma comes to love Bob but is tricked by Van, a sodden flirt, into "marriage," while Bob realizes that he still loves Sylvia. Bob and Van are lost in a canoe that capsizes during a storm, and the jealous women are drawn together in a common bond of sympathy. Then Bob reappears, announcing that Van has drowned; he is reunited with Sylvia; and Aloma continues her relationship with Nuitane.
