Following the death of his mother, the
departure to Spain of his father with a new bride, and the illness
of Charles, his younger brother, Justin Ramos, a stalwart and
quick-tempered Canary Island fisherman, swears to protect his
brother from harm. He breaks the pledge, however, when Charles
boasts that he will make a quick and unworthy conquest of Amy,
daughter of Sebastiano Cortissos, an expatriated Spanish nobleman.
Justin reprimands his brother but
refrains from declaring his love for Amy, who taunts him because he
has scorned her; but after he saves his brother during a sea storm,
his fiery cousin, Manuella, gives Justin an opportunity to prove his
love and expose the unworthiness of Charles.
