Synopsis
Though Rod McLean has rescued him from savages, Tony Heritage steals from Rod and goes to France, where he marries Joie Malet. Joie's father, Capt. Jean Malet, disapproves, however; takes her to a South Sea island; but is forced to employ Tony when he follows. Rod, who also works for Captain Malet, falls in love with Joie even though he knows she is married to some unknown man. Discovering that Tony is inciting the natives to burn the island's church and that he is Joie's husband, Rod pursues Tony and returns alone to marry Joie.
