Synopsis
Jack Dowling, an oiler on a tramp steamer, falls in love with Peggy Ann Andrews and thereby angers her father, a San Francisco tugboat skipper. Jack asks Peggy if she will marry him and go to live in the country, but she turns him down, wanting no part of farm life. When Peggy's father learns that Jack wants to be a farmer, he changes his mind about him, and the two men are soon conspiring to make Peggy give up waterfront life: they shanghai Peggy and put her to work peeling potatoes on a docked freighter. Peggy is at first resentful but soon comes to realize that she truly loves Jack and prepares to be a country housewife.
