Synopsis
In 1894, mutineers on a schooner bound for San Francisco mortally wound wealthy Basil Cavanaugh, who entrusts cabin boy Dickie Hamilton to deliver his little daughter Jane to a banker in San Francisco for a reward. When the schooner unloads contraband goods to smuggler Bog Nichols, Dickie hides Jane in a keg. Bog discovers her and plans to get the reward, but instead gets arrested. Jane is then adopted by retired sea captain Barth. Fourteen years later, Barth is president of a fishing village bank and Jane is an adventure-seeking tomboy. When Barth threatens to disinherit his nephew Albert unless he marries Jane, Albert pays Bog, who escaped from jail, to abduct her, and encourages Jane to go by appealing to her desire for adventure. After Bog accidentally drowns, Jane reaches a deserted island. Richard Hamilton rescues her and tells about her inherited fortune. Jane and Richard fall in love, but Albert, learning of Jane's inheritance, kidnaps her to marry her. After Jane swerves Albert's car off the road, Richard lets Albert escape. He identifies himself as the cabin boy, and he and Jane commence their romance.
