Raised aboard a ship, Jacques Leroi has never seen a woman until after the death of his father. Arriving in port in New York, he marries the first woman he meets, the gold-digging Madge. On an expedition, Jacques finds himself shipwrecked on an island whose inhabitants are shipwrecked as well, and have formed their own society. There he meets the native-born Mavis. Once rescued, he returns to New York only to find Madge had dumped him for another man. He returns to Mavis again and finds happiness.
