Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[2] while voyaging from Australia to New York City, Olive Granger suffers a shipwreck and manages to reach an island. Two other survivors, Irene Carlton and Fred Morgan, gamblers, steal her credentials and go to the United States, where Irene poses as Olive. The latter is rescued by Paul Patterson, a diver, who has to fight off his partner Jan Boomer for her. Boomer meets his demise in the clutching coils of a giant octopus. Paul and Olive arrive in New York City, expose the imposters, and are wed.
