The Storm Bird, in seeking anchorage, fouls the fishing nets of Ben Marston. The incident leads to a row between Old Ben and Bully Ryan. The mate, taking sides with the fisherman, who is father of Sarah, his sweetheart, gives Ryan a beating. Love's young dream unfolds itself among the rocky shores of the sea coast when Jack and Sarah plight their love. Later the rum drinking captain forces his attention upon the girl. A struggle ensues, during which her father, attempting to protect the child, is struck down. Jack arriving, the captain seeks safety in flight. He is pursued. Nearing the Storm Bird, Ryan shoots his pursuer, and believing that he has killed him, hides the body in the hold of the ship. Spuds, the cabin boy, sneaks ashore for help. Meeting Sarah, the boy and she put off for the Storm Bird. In the interim, Jack, reviving, seeks an exit from the hold. Sarah and the boy remove the hatch and Jack emerges. Captain Ryan attempts to shoot his enemy, but is frustrated by Spuds, who trips the drunken skipper through the open hatch. Jack, Sarah and Spuds put off for the ship and when in the open discover that the Storm Bird is afire. Jack heroically rescues Ryan from the burning ship, and landing him on the yawl the repentant man kneels for forgiveness to the man and woman. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
