Laura Greville, secretly in love with her cousin, Henry, is first heartbroken, then furious, when she learns of his marriage to pretty Edith Day. With all the cunning of a woman cast aside, she lays her plans of revenge. By chance she teams that Edith has a brother, Paul, whom she has never mentioned to her husband, and who has been serving a prison sentence after having been convicted on circumstantial evidence of a crime he never committed. By intercepting letters passed between the brother and sister, she succeeds in making Henry suspicious of his wife's fidelity. Hoping to cure her of what he believes to be a foolish infatuation, he charters a yacht and together with her and Laura sets out upon a cruise of the Mediterranean. One day the crew suddenly discover that there is a fire in the hold of the vessel, and within a few moments the sturdy craft is a pillar of flame. The captain and sailors, panic-stricken, take to the lifeboats, and Greville, believing his wife safe, succeeds in escaping from the vessel with Laura. Sweeping the sea with his glass, Tom Reynard spies the blazing hulk and is horrified to see that there is a woman aboard. He hurries to the rescue in a powerful motor boat, arriving in time to save Edith's life, but the shock is too much for her and her reason gives way under the strain. Reynard, however, places her in the hands of an eminent specialist, and after a long siege, she recovers. In the meantime Greville, believing his wife to be dead, has married Laura. Terror stricken when they learn of her escape, Greville and the woman plan an abduction, which is frustrated by Reynard. Desperate, the husband rids Edith of his presence forever, leaving her free to accept the love of her handsome young preserver.
