Linda Arvidson and Arthur V. Johnson enjoy a romantic rendezvous at the beach; meanwhile, Charles Inslee escapes from a couple of policemen, who are bringing him to a nearby "Insane Asylum"; he gets one of the lawmen's guns, and dashes off for the beach. At the beach, Inslee abducts Ms. Arvidson, taking her off in a canoe (presumably to aid in his escape). Will the swimsuit set be able to rescue fair damsel from the clutches of the maniacal Inslee?
D.W. Griffith presents an interesting situation: having a insane criminal "invade" a group of innocent young beachgoers, who are presumably unrelated to the lunatic. Note that, along the way, Inslee accosts a man, serving no other purpose than to exchange the lunatic's gun for a knife. Those looking for Director Griffith to start every genre imaginably might call "Where Breakers Roar" the proto-type "slasher film"; however, there is no slashing. Mainly, this film is an opportunity to see 1908 swimsuit fashions!
