Plot

"After her father, the chieftain of a clan off the western coast of Scotland, dies at sea during a storm, Marget MacTavish consoles the other clan members even though she is heartbroken. On the Sabbath, Marget takes command as chieftain and drives everyone into the nearly empty church, except for David Pitcairn, who thinks that praying is fruitless. When Marget and Jamie Campbell, a young fisherman, become engaged in a traditional ceremony, Mrs. Campbell writes to the Countess of Dunstable and confesses that years earlier, she, as Jamie's nurse, reported Jamie's death so that she could raise him. The countess arrives with her second husband, an Earl, who convinces Marget that for Jamie's sake she should break the engagement. Although Jamie protests, Marget uses her authority as chieftain to command him to leave her. Marget drifts to sea to leave the area, but her old, unseaworthy vessel begins to sink. Pitcairn awakens and rings an alarm, then prays for Marget as Jamie takes a power boat from his mother's yacht and rescues her. Jamie's parents then accept the marriage."

Production

The film was shot in Marblehead, Massachusetts and Fort Lee, New Jersey where many early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based there at the beginning of the 20th century.
