- When Captain Nathaniel Somers is killed during an attack by thugs, his loyal first mate Pike promises to care for the captain's son Dick. Pike, aware that Dick has squandered his life on having a good time, sequesters the wastrel aboard The Elsinore and sets sail. Mellaire, one of the thugs responsible for the captain's death, is also on board, as is Margaret West, whom all three men love. The crew is a bad lot, and during a heavy storm, Mellaire, with his accomplice, The Rat, start a mutiny. In the battle on deck, Pike fights the rebellious sailors single-handedly until helped by Dick, whose experiences have transformed him into a man. Mellaire and The Rat are washed overboard and Pike, now severely injured, gives both command of the ship and Margaret's hand to Dick.
- Richard Forrest's philosophy of marital relations is that it is not up to the husband to hold his wife's love but that she should "hold it herself." His theories are put to a practical test when his best friend, a young author, comes to the Big House. The friend falls in love with the wife and frankly tells her husband of the fact, saying that it is best that he go away. Forrest laughs at him and states that his wife should know her own mind and she is free to love whom she chooses and that if she finds she loves the author she is free to go away with him. But the thing that he thought would not take place did happen finally. The wife thinks she is in love with the author and tells her husband that she has allowed the other man to kiss her. She finds out in the end, however, that her husband's character is of such strength that she "holds herself" to him, and reaches the conclusion that her love for the author was but a temporary affair.
