The story is that of a despon- dent man who goes world roving in a yacht, without any interest in life beyond the pasenge of the days. Putting into an inlet for. water, he finds an island upon which an old man and his daugh÷,
maniacal brute..
ter are kept in subjection by a bodies have been brought up find
There are several minor de- velopments, tending to the melo- dramatic climax, when the maniac kills the girl's father and is about to torture her in turn.
A rescue is followed by a chase, which results in the disposal of the madman through the medium of one of his own ferocious dogs, that he has used as guards over his prisoners. It is a Goldwyn picture and wonderfully well pro- duced, not only from the photo- graphic point of view but in the development of plot and con- tinuity.
