Englishman Tom Lingard, owner of the
trading brig Lightning, works the waters of the Java Sea. Hassim, rajah of Wajo, rescues Lingard from the natives of his
village and consequently is driven from his throne.
Consequently, he and his sister Immada take refuge with Lingard, who
determines to restore the rajah to power.
Just as preparations are nearing
completion, the yacht of Travers, a wealthy Englishman, goes aground
nearby. Though Travers resents Lingard's attempts to help, his
wife is drawn to the adventurer. Lingard effects the release
of Travers and D'Alacer from Daman's men, but the natives revolt and
seize Travers' ship; Mrs. Travers goes to summon Lingard, but in
their mutual passion, all is forgotten.
The ship is dynamited, killing all, and
Lingard remorsefully sends the girl away.
