A prostitute arrives at a South Seas island where she becomes the center of attention of all the lonely sailors. She falls in love with one in particular and hopes to leave her past life behind. However, a conservative missionary tries to get her kicked off the island, until he falls in love with her himself. The story takes a ludicrous melodramatic turn in the reconstructed last reel. Swanson is magnetic, but the story does not do her justice.
