Synopsis

Bradley, an engineer, becomes a Tahiti beachcomber after the collapse of a bridge he built. Murdock, a former employer of Bradley, arrives on the island with his lovely daughter Diana, who wagers with a guest of the governor-general that she could dress the lowest outcast in good clothing and pass him off as a gentleman. She chooses Bradley, who finds out about the hoax and, determined to teach her a lesson, takes her to Leper Island where she is treated like an outcast. Murdock recognizes Bradley and offers him a chance to redeem himself by overseeing the repairs made on a lighthouse. Diana, having now understood Bradley, remains on Tahiti with him.

Notes

The film seems to have been completed by Fischer as early as February 1920, when it was entitled Another Chance. Sherman Productions acquired the film and advertised it as a November 15, 1920 release under the title Man and Woman, but it is unclear whether it was in fact released in 1920. Jans released the film on the state rights market in September 1921, when it was reviewed by most trade papers. The film was initially reported to be six reels, but by 1921 it had apparently been reduced to five reels. It is listed in the AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1921-30 (F2.3364).
