Plot

According to a film magazine, [4] "A young woman who, with a chaperon, accompanies an English aviator on what is hoped will be a world's trip, laying out an aerial mall route for the British Government. When the plane is wrecked the girl and the aviator are the sole survivors. They fight off the savages, and finally convince them that they are Gods, although in the finish a native woman whom the aviator scorns, explodes the God idea, and just as the rescuers arrive in another plane the two are attacked. They also fight off the natives, but when the two rescuers take the girl and make a getaway the aviator was wounded by an arrow and left to his fate.

Later he turns up in England, having been nursed back to health by the native woman and making his escape when a trading boat stops at the island. Of course his arrival is just in time to bring about a happy ending, for the girl on her return has confessed that she and the aviator were wed by their own ceremony while on the island, but the folks back home can't grant this was on the level and she is shunned."
