✎ Suggest a correctionAn American tramp steamer docks in New York harbor sometime in the early years of the 20th Century before prohibition. The stoker rescues a drowning prostitute named Mae (Betty Compson) who has leapt off the dock to end her sordid life. Bill Roberts - a swaggering brawler when on leave - rescues Mae. The couple takes their vows, each shamefacedly, while the formerly boisterous patrons observe with mock solemnity.
