Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[5] Captain Shane, a South Seas trader, known on the island as "Brute" Shane due to the roughhouse methods he uses on his men and native islanders, rears Saina, a half-caste, as if she was a young white woman. Now grown to womanhood, Saina has come to love her guardian. Nona, an English damsel, stows away on Shane's ship to escape Kwong Li, a Chinese man who desires her. When Saina finds that Shane loves Nona and learns the secret circumstances of her birth, she temporarily reverts to native ways, and even performs a native dance in traditional islander clothing with grace and abandon. Saina turns out to be the Rajah's granddaughter and a hereditary queen of the island. Shane sails away with Nona.
