Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Sam, a young fisherman, and his wife, Molly, lead a simple, happy life on a little fishing island. One day a yacht anchors off the island and a party of city folks lands for luncheon. Molly wanders toward the group and Jack, one of the party, is smitten with her beauty. Unconsciously she is attracted by his clean-cut city appearance and returns home thinking of him. The party needing water, Jack and several others call upon Sam. Sam introduces them to Molly, who directs them to the nearest spring. Returning from the spring, Jack calls upon Molly and escorts her to the luncheon party. They offer champagne, which she at first refuses, but after much persuasion, tastes. Then Jack, by flattery and caresses, induces her to accompany them back to the city. But hardly are they aboard the yacht when Jack forces his kisses upon Molly, who then divines his evil intent. Meanwhile Sam has returned broken-hearted to find his wife gone. But his sorrow is not of long duration, for Molly has demanded her release and returns that evening, takes up her duty of mending Sam’s fishing nets, and so he finds her, truly repentant for her mistake and still his loving wife.
