After they fall in love, they discover that each possesses half of a wedding ring passed down through three generations of their families. Julian's foster grandfather was in love with Josephine's grandmother in the early nineteenth century, but the latter was forced to marry a nobleman who arranged to have the former kidnapped and set adrift at sea. Stranded on a desert island, Julian's foster grandfather discovered a chest of gold and made his way back to New Orleans with the help of a courageous cabin boy, whom the older man later adopted. The older man died of a broken heart after discovering his sweetheart's marriage, and the younger man, Julian's father, eventually fell in love with Josephine's mother. This romance also was doomed by circumstance, and Julian's father moved away and married the daughter of a well-to-do Southerner. Julian and Josephine, more fortunate than their ancestors, marry.
