Plot
As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] Jim (Marmont) is a seaman who joins a cowardly captain and his stenchful crew in deserting a boatload of Muslim pilgrims on their way to Mecca. He is hypnotized into turning his back on his duty, but hypnotism is no alibi in an Admiralty Court and he loses his mate's certificate. The stigma follows him until an understanding merchant sends him to a remote Malay settlement, where he grows in power until he shares authority with the son of the Rajah. The captain and his crew, likewise blacklisted, have turned pirates and are led to the settlement by the former factor at the settlement, whom Jim has kept on through a fellow feeling of pity until he has become impossible. The same pity for the under dog leads him to turn the pirates loose, and they repay his generous act by killing the son of the Rajah. Jim pays with his own life for the loss of the Rajah's son.
