When Greyson dies, the transferred deed is lost. Years later, Greyson's son George finds resistance when he attempts to evict the squatters. He laughs at their "fish story," and sends men to fight, but when he meets Mary Aldron, the beautiful ward of the village minister, George offers to accept her plea for him to withdraw if she will be his house guest for ten days. Humbled by Mary's innocence, George gives up his plans for seduction when she repels his advances. Back at the island, Mary is publicly denounced as a harlot by her once admiring friends. When the man she loves, a former derelict she earlier reformed, also turns against her, Mary seeks refuge with George. After a misunderstanding, she returns to the island, but George pursues and fights to save her from being branded with a gold cross. Mary then accepts George's love. Written by AFI See less
