Lloyd quarrels with his son Fred, an art student, and the latter leaves home and embarks on a steamer, from which he falls and is rescued by a fisherman known as Captain Jack. Fred's memory is lost by the fall. In the village he woos Nan, a fisher girl, thereby incurring the enmity of Joe Porter. Nan accepts Fred's love. Fred's father wages war on the fisherman. A battle over possession of the land takes place, and in the fight Porter shoots Fred in the back. Nan nurses Fred to recovery, and they are married, Fred still unaware of his identity. Porter becomes a desperado, and joins a gang of smugglers. Fred paints a picture of Nan, and an artist takes the portrait to a city, where it wins high praise. The painting is purchased by Blanche Dexter a former fiancée of Fred, and she, with Fred's mother, visit the fishing village to see the man who painted the portrait. Blanche and Fred's mother see Fred, and the sight of his parent restores Fred's memory. Porter about this time abducts Nan in a boat but Fred rescues her. His mother pleads with him to return home. Fred learns that his father is dead and that he has inherited the estate. Blanche, meanwhile, falls under the wiles of Porter, and meets him secretly. Fred leaves his wife, Nan, their baby having died and goes home with his mother. Fred indulges himself at cafés and forgets Nan, who is pining away in the village. Porter follows Blanche to the city, but later he returns to Nan and asks her to accept his love. She spurns him and, believing Fred lost to her forever, she rows a boat far out to sea and fails to return. Fred sees a vision of Nan, and prepares to return to her. He goes to the village and learns that Nan's body was washed ashore. He finds her grave beside the place where their child was buried, the two crosses bearing silent witness to the entanglements in the web of fate. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
