He rushes back to tell Stella of his good luck, but finds her in another man's arms. Disgusted by her faithlessness, he demands the return of her engagement ring and immediately leaves her. Stella finds out about the fortune and realizes that she has lost. She determines to get back at him and to this end seeks out Madeline Turner, a pretty young girl who recently lost her father very tragically. Mr. Turner had been involved by other businessmen in underhanded stock transactions; when exposure came, he lost his money. The sudden loss of his fortunes gave the old man a shock which he did not survive, leaving Madeline and her mother almost penniless. Stella tells Madeline that it was Edmund Vance who ruined her father and poisons her mind against him. Madeline agrees to win his love and then break his heart. Edmund goes away to Catalina for a vacation; the two girls follow him.By pre-arrangement with Stella, Madeline makes it possible for Edmund to see her posing as a sea-maiden, and he at once falls in love with her; much against her will, she falls in love with him. Nevertheless, when he proposes to her, she accuses him of being the cause of her father's ruin and death. Later, Stella tells Edmund that she had lied to Madeline about him and gloats over the effect her disclosure produces. Madeline, overhearing the conversation, enters the room and faces Stella, who now sees that the game is up. Stella laughs scornfully and retires, calling them a pair of fools. Madeline, her heart torn with anguish that Edmund should know that she had been led to conspire against him, turns to depart, but is stopped by Edmund, who, understanding her position, forgives her and warmly clasps her to his heart.
