"Maurice Blake" and "Philip Jardine" are pearl fishers on a tropical island. The two men are fighting underwater for a pearl, when Jardine is killed by a shark. His mistress, "Rosa Carmino", a woman of attractive appearance, has a letter from "Jardine" 's wealthy father, urging him to return to San Francisco. Since the elder "Jardine" has never seen his grown son, "Carmino" convinces "Blake" to go in his place. "Blake" is welcomed into the "Jardine" household and he falls in love with "Helen Saville", the daughter of a neighbor. The couple marries, but on their wedding night, the jealous "Carmino" tells "Helen" that she is "Blake"'s mistress.
