Plot

As described in a film magazine review, a fishing boat in which Kate Masterson is sailing is run down by a schooner commanded by skipper Brute Morgan, a man with a terrible reputation. The young woman is rescued, forced to work, and ill-used by Morgan, who hates all members of her sex. In a mutiny the brutal but valorous skipper battles desperately against big odds, but is overpowered and put in irons. A violent storm breaks out and the captain is released to reassume command. The vessel sinks. Morgan and the young woman reach a desolate island. However, after all of these events, Morgan is a changed man and in love with Kate. She agrees to marry him.
