Synopsis

Based upon a description in a film magazine, Martin Flint (Bosworth) and his son Luther (Hughes) are partners in a deep sea diving business, and a promoter tries to interest them in a fraudulent scheme to extract treasure from a sunken wreck. The father declines, but the son accepts, attracted by a young woman with the promoter, whom Luther then marries. She later leaves him, and Luther becomes delirious, so the father goes to an underworld dive in an attempt to get her back. Later, a steamer sinks after a collision with a derelict, carrying the promoter and Luther's wife to their deaths. Luther refuses to accept his father's story that the woman was worthless, and dives on the sunken steamer only to discover his wife embraced in the arms of her lover.
