Dr. Lloyd (Monte Blue), a good man gone to drink, is set adrift on a pest ship by his enemy, Pearl Trader Sebastian. The sea casts him upon an island, whose inhabitants have never before seen a white man. Dr. Lloyd behaves; the natives make a man of him. A chaste love springs up between him and Fayaway (Raquel Torres), village virgin, daughter of the chief. After they...
