As described in a film magazine review,[4] Tony, beloved son of Portuguese mother Anna Silva, allows his head to be turned in the summer resort colony by Betty Smith, daughter of a former neighbor now grown wealthy. She shows him how to become a popular dancing instructor. Afraid of losing her, he steals to keep up appearances. The theft is traced to him, but out of respect for his mother, the sheriff gives him a chance. In this crisis, the mother shows her strength and has him kidnapped and shanghaied for a two year's trip around the world. On board the ship is the young woman the mother wants him to marry.
