Synopsis

During a mutiny on a rum laden ship, the skipper's daughter escapes and swims to a nearby island where the natives are holding a celebration. Because they think that she is the Goddess Nasoni and treat her as such, she adopts their life. Out hunting one day, she meets "The Man" who is on a hunting expedition and knocks him senseless with her club. While nursing him back to health, they fall passionately in love. The chief detects the intruder, but Nasoni introduces him as a god. Then one day a search party finds the man who pleads with Nasoni to leave with him. She refuses, and when the man attempts to carry her away, she knocks him unconscious and has him taken aboard the yacht. When he recovers, he returns to the island, finds Nasoni, and the two are wed.

Notes

This film, which was made in Los Angeles, was copyrighted by Clifford Horne in 1918 under the title The Charm of Nasoni. Elmer J. McGovern bought the film before it was released and reedited it. The ending of the story which was copyrighted in 1918 differs from the film's ending of 1920 in that in the 1918 story "The Man" dies due to a witch doctor's treachery, Nasoni leaps from a cliff to her death, and their spirits embrace in the water. Madame Doraldina was a famous dancer; this film contained many scenes of her performing.
