Synopsis
Sally Blake and her fiancé, Jim Paine, a lighthouse inspector, are strolling on the beach when they see Paul Whalen, a lifeguard, rescue a drowning child; Sally expresses her attraction for him, provoking a quarrel with Jim, and as a result breaks off their engagement. She soon meets Paul and marries him. Paul is assigned to an offshore lighthouse as keeper, and he and Sally live there for 5 years, during which their child is born. Paul loses his eyesight just before Jim arrives to inspect the lighthouse; weary of the loneliness, Sally is induced to go ashore to parties and dances with Jim, but, conscience-stricken, she returns to her husband. Paul recovers his sight to find Jim attempting to kiss his wife and gives him a beating; realizing, however, that Sally acted under compulsion, Paul is reconciled with her.
