There he falls in love with the doctor's daughter, Ruth Storm, and conquers his alcoholism. However, Ruth is fascinated by a handsome but reckless fisherman, Pierre Lemoyne, and is unsure which man to choose. One day, Arnold invites Ruth to go sailing and hires Lemoyne to navigate the boat. The hard-drinking Lemoyne assaults Arnold and capsizes the boat. The three are eventually saved by a passing tugboat, and once safely on board, Ruth realizes that Arnold is the better man. See less
