Dan Pritchard (Leslie Howard (actor)) is a partner along with his father (C. Aubrey Smith) in a San Francisco-based shipping company. His socialite fiancée Maisie Morrison (Karen Morley) avoids setting a wedding date, much to his frustration. Dan is called to the ship of his father's friend, Captain Larrieau, who informs him he has contracted leprosy. He wants the Pritchards to act as guardians for his daughter Tamea, whose mother was a Polynesian queen. Tamea (Conchita Montenegro) is a barefoot native girl, skimpily dressed, her hair wild and her aspect wilder. Once Pritchard agrees to take care of Tamea and see to it that she marries respectably, her father goes topside and jumps overboard.
