Synopsis

Madame La Coeur and her little daughter, Rose, sail for America aboard a tramp steamer not knowing that Rose's father has died and left a fortune that if not claimed within 10 years will go to charity. The boat is torpedoed, and Madame La Coeur loses her life; but Rose is saved by fishermen Ralph and Jim Seldon, who are brothers. Nine years pass. Ralph and Rose grow fond of each other, but Jim, who also loves Rose, tries to break up their friendship. Jim learns of the inheritance and plots to marry Rose. Circumstances bring the three together on the same ocean liner, where Ralph is an officer. The ship catches fire and sinks after a collision at sea. Jim drowns, and Ralph and Rose are among the few survivors. Rose claims her fortune and marries Ralph.
