Prior to his departure to the island he marries Irene, a pretty, light-hearted girl, who loves him withal. On the island where the couple take up their future home there is an eccentric, wild hermit who hides away in an improvised cave. After Steven and Irene are settled on the island and when the days pass by with dull monotony, Irene begins to pine for other society besides that of her husband. Again, she runs across the hermit and thoroughly frightened, she begs her husband to secure a new position in the navy yard and take her back to the village. Steven, believing that he is doing the right thing by his wife, that his kindness should make up for her lonesomeness, is obstinate; he laughs at her fears and refuses. Time comes when a desperate desire comes over Irene to get away. Determined, she writes a note asking the finder to come and take a pretty girl away from the island, places the letter in a bottle and casts it into the sea. Steven finds the bottle, reads the pleading note, replaces it in the bottle and casts it again into the sea. Then he awaits developments, always watching. Sim Brady, a friend of Flashy Nellie, a resort keeper, finds the bottle and shows the note to Nellie. They determine to secure Irene and use her as a white slave. In the meantime the hermit has been watching Steven on his daily rounds; he gets a wild desire to gain possession of Steven's telescope. Sim Brady sets out in a boat for the island and Irene, observing his approach, comes down to the landing and informs him of her troubles. He offers to take her back and she agrees. Steven, the while, sees them leave from where he waits behind a cliff. The hermit comes upon him from behind; there is a desperate fight, during which Irene and Brady get away. Steven finally overcomes the hermit and rushes to the boat landing; he takes his own boat and sets off in pursuit. Brady takes Irene to the resort and turns her over to Nellie. The latter locks her in and orders her to mingle with the sailors and other frequenters of the resort. Steven finds out from a drunken sailor where Irene is being held. Rushing to the place, he finds the door locked. He breaks in through a window and, following a terrific fight, in which the inmates join, he succeeds in escaping with his wife. He takes her back to the island. On the next day he received a letter which notified him that he has been appointed to a position at the navy yard. Realizing his position in the matter, Stevens informs Irene, forgives her for the escapade, and both rejoice. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
