This photoplay was produced in beautiful Tahiti, one of the South Sea Islands, termed "The Garden of the Pacific," because of its wealth of vegetation and of everything that is beautiful and romantic. Here palms grow upon the very streets of the villages and the tall, graceful coconut trees may be seen long before one reaches the island. The lives of the natives are romantic and equally so are those of the colonists. Wilkins, a colonist planter, casts aside his native mistress to propose to Grace, the pretty daughter of a neighboring planter. When not accepted, he attempts to win her love by fraud, making believe that it was he who saved her life when her boat upturned. Out of gratitude she consents to marry Wilkins, but at the opportune moment a Kanaka (a native), brother of his mistress, reveals the trick, points out the real hero, and Grace's love is then bestowed on the rightful owner.
