Synopsis
New York businessman Arnold Hammond, suffering from the ravages of alcoholism, puts himself under the care of a skillful physician in a Nova Scotian fishing village. There he falls in love with the doctor's daughter Ruth and conquers his alcoholism. Ruth is fascinated by a handsome but reckless fisherman, Pierre Lemoyne, however, and is not sure which man to choose, until one day Arnold asks Ruth to go sailing with him and hires Lemoyne to navigate the boat. Drinking heavily, Lemoyne assaults Arnold and capsizes the boat. Half drowned, the three are saved by a passing tugboat and once safe onboard, Ruth realizes that Arnold is the better man.
