Synopsis
When celebrated Maine diver Martin Flint refuses to participate in James Arnold's dangerous treasure hunt, Arnold's seductive accomplice and wife Edna enlists Flint's son Luther in the scheme by promising to marry him if he salvages the planted gold from a sunken wreck. Returning home from his perilous mission, Luther discovers that Edna has deserted him and succumbs to delirium. Martin pursues Edna to Boston and forces her to return to Maine with him, but unknown to Flint, Arnold steals aboard their boat. Later that night, the vessel strikes a wreck and sinks. Arnold and Edna drown, but Flint survives and returns to Luther, who refuses to believe his father's tale of betrayal. To learn the truth for himself, Luther dives to the sunken wreck, discovers Arnold and Edna's bodies and faints. Martin then dives to save his son, who comes to realize that his father is a virtuous man.
