When a sea captain's beautiful daughter, Carrie, learns her father's ship has gone down, she refuses to believe her beloved Michael, the handsome seaman to whom she is betrothed, will not come back to make her his bride.
The years slip by and Carrie's faith becomes an obsession until, one day, Michael does return-- carrying her off to a safe harbor.
