Captain Len Andrews, his wife Jane, and their young son Cole are rescued at sea by Captain Marty Drake. However, Drake assaults Jane, leading to a confrontation that blinds Len and leaves both Len and Cole stranded. Devastated by the events, Jane takes her own life.

Years later, Cole, now a member of the Harbor Fire Patrol, is engaged to Betty Merton. When Drake, now a wealthy man, reappears and becomes infatuated with Betty, Len recognizes him. The tension culminates in a final confrontation where Len seeks revenge, bringing justice for the wrongs committed against his family.
