Synopsis

Captain Purcell, a retired New England skipper, finds Kit as a baby in a storm and adopts the child, who grows up to be an adventurous youngster of the docks. One evening, years later, she boards a fishing boat to break up a poker game and extricate the husband of a weeping woman. There she is taken prisoner by Capt. Burt Kincaid, who tries to force his attentions on her, but when she proves her courage he admires and comes to love her. When it is discovered that she is the daughter of the Hamptons, a wealthy family, Kit becomes a woman of fashion but longs for her former life and Captain Burt. It develops, however, that she is not a member of the Hampton family but only a daughter of their former maid, and she joyfully returns to Burt.
