Synopsis
Pastor Spener, dedicated to the conversion of the natives of Wallis Islands, is in constant contention with Hull Gregson, an unscrupulous trader who operates a saloon--to the detriment of the people. Because Gregson wishes to marry Matilda, the pastor's daughter, he makes Spener believe that he has reformed. Matilda, however, loves Motauri, a young native chief, and runs away with him despite the enormous obstacles to their union. In a violent storm they are forced to take refuge in Gregson's shack. Motauri overpowers Gregson, takes Matilda to his hut, leaves her after she faints, and jumps over a waterfall. (In the copyright synopsis Motauri turns out to be a white man and happily returns to New England with Matilda.)

Trivia
Alice Terry took over the direction when Rex Ingram went off in a "well deserved funk" when he got the news that he wasn't going to direect Ben-Hur (1925) after it had been promised to him. This was about the time that the feud between Ingram and 'Louis B. Meyer' started.
This film is presumed lost. Please check your attic.
