Synopsis by Janiss Garza
Lord Angus Cameron (H.E. Herbert), a Scottish nobleman, becomes tired of his common-law wife Marion (Mabel Ballin) and tries to deny the marriage. He thinks he can get away with it since the ship on which they were wed has sunk. Alec McClintock (Ralph Graves) comes to help her prove the marriage. The climax of this movie is an underwater fight between McClintock and Cameron, with both antagonists wearing diving suits! Underwater photography was a rare and special event in the days of the silents. A pre-stardom John Gilbert has a supporting role as Dick Beach, McClintock's faithful friend.
