Synopsis
John Charnock, a wealthy estate owner from Virginia, dies when his yacht catches fire in the South Pacific. Mrs. Charnock and her son John drift to an uninhabited island, where she soon dies. Twenty years later, wealthy Katherine Brenton, who thinks that men and women can have platonic friendships under any conditions, accepts clubman Valentine Langford's offer to test her theory. On his yacht in the South Pacific, Langford attacks her and she knocks him cold. She escapes and lands on John's island, and over the next three years, she educates him. She gradually falls in love and realizes the futility of her doctrines. When Langford's search boat arrives, he claims her because of the two weeks they spent on his yacht. John's love is shaken. Katherine goes to a secret cave to think, and John, believing that she has drowned, goes to Virginia. Langford finds Katherine and proposes. After Katherine refuses him, Langford tells John to return to the island. John finds Katherine and they return to America reunited.
