The Tempest

Tom appears as a wandering fellow, strolling on the docks. The crew of a schooner see him and he is promptly shanghaied, the captain having first thrown the hero's canine pal into the water. He recovers from the beating given him on board the vessel, but swears he will not work. The only friend he makes is a lad on the boat who has also been forcibly taken on board. During a storm the hero starts a mutiny and is thrown overboard. He lands near a lighthouse and is befriended by the sole inhabitants, the keeper of the light and his daughter. The hero falls in love with the girl and later thinks he has lost her when the boy from the schooner suddenly appears. He turns out to be her brother.
