Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] a young pearl fisher leaves his native island for the first time to go to San Francisco and dispose of the fortune in South Sea pearls he has gathered. On the steamer bound to San Francisco he meets and falls in love with a woman who is a member of a band of crooks who pose as her relatives. The pearler marries her, but she and her confederates are after the pearls. Following a series of adventures in which the woman is wounded with a gun, she learns that she really loves her husband. She warns him of a plot against his life in time to save him and they are reunited.
