The captain's daughter, Jessie, loves, and is loved, by Jack, the shipowner's son. The shipowner is not averse to his own carrying on a flirtation with Jessie, but when he discovers that Jack's intentions are serious he advises Jack that if he marries the girl he will be disowned. Jack marries Jessie and is disowned. Six months later he finds himself with a wife on his hands and unable to get work. He appeals to his father in vain. The owner of the "Alden Bess" has engaged a new captain and crew and the rotten plank is ready to sail. As a last resort in his search for work, Jack joins the crew. His wife, Jessie, carries the news to her father and Captain Scott rushes to the shipowner. "Your son is a sailor on the 'Alden Bess,'" says Scott. "Does your insurance cover him?" The shipowner becomes frantic. The father's love triumphs over the financier's inhumanity. He takes a motorboat and goes after the schooner. He promises his son that if he will desert the old ship all will be forgiven. "If it is unsafe for me, it is unsafe for all," answered Jack. Needless to say, it was found unsafe for all and that was the end of the "Alden Bess." She was scrapped. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
