Plot edit

As described in a film magazine review,^[3] sailor Jack Malone and Charles Crosby, second mate of the steamer Langland, are in love with Patty Thomas of Oldport. Crosby gets drunk on duty and Jack is promoted in his place by Captain Clarke. The Langland gets into serious difficulties during a storm and sinks while the crew escape in boats. Crosby reaches Oldport first and accuses the Captain and Jack of being intoxicated and causing the disaster. All the town folk, including Patty, believe him.
