Ethel and he have attended college together and both look forward to the time when John shall have made enough to satisfy old man Temple that he is capable of giving Ethel the position in the world as a wife which the father thinks she is entitled to. But the Temples are well to do and suddenly become very wealthy. Mr. and Mrs. Temple decide that Ethel must marry either wealth or title. Enter Count DeBrissac, a beggarly young French nobleman. Ethel is prevailed upon to forsake her college lover and marry the Count. John Hampton decided to work his way around the world. He ships on an Atlantic liner as sailor. Scenes show that Ethel has a most tragic time with the miserable Frenchman. Five years later, Temple induces the Count to take a voyage to the Mediterranean with Ethel, in order to try to shake off the influence of the actress he has taken a fancy to. The actress learns of the trip and takes passage on the same steamer. They all sail on Hampton's ship. Hampton having in the meantime become a junior officer in the trans-Atlantic service. The complications which ensue on board ship, and Hampton's nobility in bringing the Count to his senses and reuniting him with his wife, are geographically portrayed.
