Synopsis

Pal Loring is making plans to rob the seal hatchery on St. Paul Island in the Bering Sea and goes to the island to reconnoiter, there meeting Hilda Larsen, the daughter of the island's governor. Hilda later discovers Pal to be the long-lost son of Paul Webber, who, while living, was a greatly respected member of the island community. Pal then decides not to go through with the robbery. Pal's former henchman, London Nick, sets out to rob the seal hatchery, and Pal fights him off, protecting the baby seals and winning himself a respected place in society.
