Synopsis
One day, as she catches a glimpse of Richard Bedell, convent bred Eve de Merincourt falls madly in love, a love which must remain unrequited because her father's dire financial circumstances impel her to marry wealthy Henry Caron. Upon inheriting valuable patent rights from an old derelict that he has befriended, Bedell becomes wealthy and begins to lead a life of dissipation until he decides to seek refuge and reform on the uninhabited Trumpet Island. Meanwhile, Eve marries Caron; then, on their honeymoon flight, their plane is hit by lightning and downed. Caron falls into the sea and Eve is delivered, suffering from amnesia, to Trumpet Island where she once again encounters Bedell. Soon after, Caron, rescued by two beachcombers, comes to take Eve away but is killed in a fall from a cliff. The traumatic sight jars Eve's memory and, her mind once again whole, she and Bedell face a happy life together.

Notes
The working titles of this film were The Girl Out of the Sky and The Girl from the Sky. Some scenes were shot in Imperial Valley, CA, on Catalina Island, CA, and along the Hudson River in New York. According to news items, cast and crew members were transported by plane from the California to the New York locations for the first time in film production history. Sources conflict on the exact credits of Lillian and George Randolph Chester, some referring to them as the scenarists, others as the scenario editors. It is also unclear whether the story was written directly for the screen by Morris or adapted from one of his published stories or novels. No information on such a publication has been found, however.
