He and his crew are shipwrecked and he is the only surviving member. He lands on a desert island and after walking for days falls asleep in a secluded spot. There he is discovered by Princess Calicowani, the daughter of chief Etaholelot of the cannibal tribe. At first she is amazed at the strange sight, but becomes reconciled to the fact that the captain is human and claims him as her own. Unable to understand her language he acquiesces in everything she says. She feeds him and he is satisfied. Meanwhile he is introduced to Calicowani's father as her fiancée and his black friends arriving on the spot are notified of that fact. Things go well for a while, until the tribe runs out of food and then the members decide that the captain would make a good roast. They seize him despite Calicowani's entreaties and protests and string him up preparatory to building a fire under him. Meanwhile, the captain's wife thinking him dead marries another man, who she henpecks to her heart's content. However, just as the captain is about to become a royal subject for the cannibals' stew a body of American sailors arrive and rescue him. Calicowani mourns her loss, but the captain goes back with his countrymen. He visits his old home, after the arrival and is surprised to find his wife married again. They believe him a ghost and the captain is left to his own thoughts of the strange wedding he was nearly a participant in with the beautiful negro princess as his mate for life.
