Irma is the spoiled darling of indulgent parents and a society queen. The admiration of her many suitors has turned her head. She plays the part of a coquette in society, and few realize that beneath her veneer of selfishness, she possesses a woman's heart. She tells Jack she will not marry a poor man, so he determines to go away to the seashore where he will not be tormented by the sight of her beautiful but coquettish self. Jack departs, and at the seaside meets Nan, a fishermaid, who assists her father with his nets. Jack goes with them on their fishing trips and becomes interested in a friendly way in pretty Nan, who proceeds to fall in love with Jack. Irma misses Jack, and tires of the flattery and homage of her admirers. Her better nature asserts itself and she realizes her unjust treatment of Jack. She suddenly awakens to a sense of her deep love for Jack, and impulsively decides to follow him to the fishing village. She finds Jack in the company of Nan, who is innocently forgotten by Jack in his joy at again seeing Irma. Nan's heart is torn by jealousy as she witnesses the joyous companionship of Jack and Irma. When she sees them in a loving embrace, her jealousy turns to frenzy, and she resolves that Irma shall not take Jack away from her. The hotel in which Jack lives and in which Irma is stopping, catches fire at night. There is great excitement in the village and the entire building is apparently doomed to destruction. The limited fire-fighting facilities of the village are of no avail against the raging conflagration. One by one the guests stagger out through the smoke and flames, and finally Jack makes his appearance. Nan is among the spectators and is greatly relieved at his escape. Jack, however, immediately looks about in search of Irma and not finding her, declares heroically that he will re-enter the blazing hotel and rescue her. The men believe this would be suicidal, as the whole interior seems to be a mass of fire. They restrain Jack, who struggles violently to escape. Nan bravely rushes into the burning building and saves Irma, realizing that her great love for Jack would rather see him the husband of her rival, than that he should be forever be unhappy through having lost his sweetheart.
