Synopsis

Unknown to his daughter Jacqueline, Miles Allen, in the guise of a fisherman, smuggles silk and fur into the country. Customs officer John Lang comes to investigate, and he and Jacqueline quickly fall in love. The owner of Miles's boat, Ward Jennings, also loves Jacqueline, but Miles refuses to let him marry her, and so, out of revenge, Ward reveals Miles's smuggling operation to coast guard officers, who kill Miles in a struggle at his home. Jacqueline mistakenly blames John for her father's death and goes to Ward for help. She then learns the truth about Ward, and, in a clifftop fight with him, he falls to his death. John comes to comfort Jacqueline, and then they begin making plans for their life together.
