On board the boat is Julian Greer (Hughes) whom she really loves, and whose grouchy father has broken off the match. Julian in seeking to embrace Sara falls into the sea. Coti dives to his rescue and is hit on the neck by the lifeboat and paralyzed. Arriving in America, Julian and Sara take care of him and tell him his horse won the race, but Carlton comes to collect the winnings, and in full view of Coti tries to attack Sara.
