But a few days before the wedding the affianced bride disappears sailing away with a strange man from the city who has suddenly appeared. Thinking that his sweetheart had deserted him for another the fisherman is heartbroken for a time but gradually the keen edge of his sorrow wears away and he succumbs to the attractions of another girl one who had recently come to the village with her father and who had lived together and alone at the end of the town.
