Synopsis
Aboard a ship sailing from Puerto Rico to New York is Frank Howard, the prisoner of Jackson, a detective. Howard and society girl Dorothy Whitlock, who with her aunt is also a passenger, become mutually attracted. The ship is swept into the Sargasso Sea, a wreckage-cluttered eddy in the central Atlantic, and is stranded amidst an "island" of ships, comprising a small colony dominated by Captain Forbes. Since any woman must be married immediately to prevent quarrels among the men, Forbes demands that Dorothy become his wife. But Dorothy chooses Howard; and when challenged by Forbes, Howard beats him. Burke, an Irish mechanic who operates the engines of a stranded submarine, leads Howard, Dorothy, and Jackson to the craft; and they escape Forbes and his gang. Jackson is resolved to help clear Howard, who finds happiness with Dorothy.
