Condescending wealthy English family is stranded on a desert island with their servants. They are completely unable to perform the most basic functions of finding food and shelter without the help of their head butler, Crichton (Thomas Meighan). The tables are soon turned as Crichton becomes king of the island. Romance works its way into the story when one of the daughters (Gloria Swanson), whom Crichton has always loved, gets in trouble with some wild leopards. He has an extended fantasy sequence as the "King of Babylon" and Swanson as his Christian slave! Years pass but they are eventually rescued and assume their former roles. It's rather silly at times, and not nearly provocative enough, even Swanson's famous "rose water" bath scene is tame.
