When Johnny Able, reared since infancy among the pirates of the East African coast, miraculously reappears at Strenshaugh Hall, at the end of Queen Victoria's reign, his grandfather is delighted. His lordship's dreams of his heir's marriage to the shy and virtuous Rose appear to be fulfilled. But Johnny's upbringing has left him sadly unfitted for his elevated role. A scandalous affair with Rose's maid and his profligate lifestyle in London, cause Rose to reject him. Embittered, he leaves England once more. Rose turns to a former suitor for comfort, but after the disaster of her marriage to this archetypal establishment hypocrite, she risks all to follow Johnny and seek love in the untamed surroundings of the newly opened continent.
