Both are in love with Alice Duncan, who chooses Robert. Wilson, dejected, decides to accept an offer to assist an old physician on a lepers' island. Robert and Alice are married. Robert, in the meantime, has accumulated great wealth and is so eager to increase it that he has no time for his wife and son. The son is taken ill and dies, and Alice is heartbroken over the loss and also the seeming indifference of her husband. Charlotte, an adventuress, and her lover-accomplice, Duval, plan to "get" Robert, who is an easy victim. He neglects his wife and his home. His wife receives a box of flowers which were intended for the adventuress, and she decides to leave him. She boards a steamer bound for the Orient, and leaves no trace of her whereabouts. During the voyage the vessel on which she is comes into the path of a typhoon and is wrecked. Alice and three men escape on a raft which brings them to the shore of the lepers' island. Wilson is amazed when he comes to look after his charges to find that the unconscious woman is Alice, the one he loves. A few days later Robert reads an account of the wreck in the paper, and believes his wife dead. He then realizes his love for her and their son. Wilson nurses Alice back to health in Dr. Myers' home, where they discover their love for each other, but fate brings Robert, who is now a physical wreck, to the same island, where he is discovered by Wilson. Wilson realizes that Robert stands in the way of the happiness which he and Alice has dreamed and talked of, but does his best to bring him back to health. Despite the care of Wilson and Dr. Myers, Robert dies. Wilson tells Alice of the death of her husband. They both realize that nothing now stands between them, and they plan to get married.
