Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Periwinkle (Minter), the survivor of a shipwreck, has been reared by Ann Scudder (Schaefer). They live on the sea coast and Periwinkle helps the coast guards during times of wrecks. One night Richard Langdon Evans (Fisher), the sole survivor when his yacht is wrecked, is tossed upon the shore. He is found by Periwinkle and taken to the guard house where, nursed under the care of Periwinkle, he soon recovers. Langdon falls in love with Periwinkle. However, the day comes when he must leave, and Periwinkle is broken hearted when she finds that he is engaged to another. Ann, suspecting that Periwinkle loves Langdon, learns the address of Langdon's fiancee and writes a letter to her. Ann receives a telegram stating to the effect that the fiancee has already married. Ann gives the telegram to Landon, who then tells Periwinkle that he loves her and does not have to leave. They have a simple marriage.
