Synopsis

Fishermen Neccola and Cesare are the best of friends until they fall in love with Nina, who favors Cesare. Their rivalry becomes an issue when, in a drunken frenzy one night, Neccola threatens to inform the authorities that Alfredo, the owner of the fishing fleet, uses dynamite to insure his catch. Alfredo kills Neccola, but when Cesare arrives on the scene, he is accused of the murder. Alfredo serves on his jury, and through his influence, Cesare is found guilty and hanged. The only person who knows of Alfredo's crime is Marie, who agrees to remain silent in return for Alfredo's promise of marriage. Alfredo desires Nina's younger sister Rose, however, and entices the girl to his boat. Learning of his betrayal, Nina follows and in the ensuing struggle, a lamp is overturned and Alfredo perishes in the flames.
