As described in a film magazine review,[2] stern Cape Cod businessman Jonathan Swift has high ambitions for his two children. To prevent a match between his son Noah and Becky, the daughter of Captain Bijonah Keeler, he sends aboard ship. Becky, fearing her approaching motherhood, runs away on Captain Joe Cradlebow's vessel. Captain Cradlebow is an unsuccessful suitor for Emily Swift's hand. The fishing fleet returns home in a terrible storm guided by the beacon light of Captain Keeler's blazing home, which he had set on fire. Noah weds Becky while Emily becomes the wife of Captain Cradlebow.
