Synopsis

Washington, D.C. society belle Elizabeth Crane gives up her fiancé, young diplomat Paul Beale, when she learns that her foster sister Flavia also loves him. After Flavia and Paul marry, they join Elizabeth on a yacht belonging to millionaire Silas Randolph, who wants to marry Elizabeth. The yacht catches fire and Elizabeth and Paul swim to a desert isle. Randolph arrives later and fights Paul to get to Elizabeth, but she stabs him to death. As the months pass, Paul and Elizabeth, believing Flavia dead, rediscover their love and live as if they were married; but Flavia, who was saved by a freight steamer, sees a vision of Elizabeth and organizes a search party. When Elizabeth sees Flavia's boat approach, she tells Paul, who says he wants to remain with her. After she convinces Paul that his child has a right to him, Elizabeth walks into the sea and drowns herself so that Flavia will not know of the island romance.
