Plot Summary

In the Victorian period, Sarah Hargrave, a beautiful widow and two young children are cast off from the ship they are travelling on, and are stranded on a beautiful island. Sarah tries to raise them to be civilized, but soon gives up, as the orphan boy Richard was born and raised by young lovers Richard and Emmeline Lestrange on this same island, and he influences the widow's daughter Lilli. The children grow up, and Sarah educates them from the bible, as well as from her own knowledge, including the facts of life. When they are about eight, she dies, leaving them to finish raising themselves.

Years later, Richard and Lilli Hargrave have grown tall, strong and beautiful. As young adults, they fall in love and exchange formal wedding vows and rings in the middle of the jungle. Soon after, a ship arrives at the island, carrying unruly sailors, a stuffy captain and his beautiful daughter Sylvia Hilliard. They offer to bring them back to civilization. Sylvia tries to steal Richard from Lilli, but as tempted as he is by her strange ways, he realizes that Lilli is his heart and soul, upsetting Sylvia. Richard is forced to lure a sailor to his death on the reef, or be killed by him. He apologizes to Lilli for hurting her, and she reveales that she is pregnant. At last, the ship departs and Richard and Lilli prefer to stay on the island and have their baby girl.
