The fighter is a "second-rater" and loses his fight for the championship title. After his defeat he goes downhill very rapidly until he meets the captain of the sloop "Wasp," which is manned by desperadoes. The captain is a second edition of Wolf Larsen, of Jack London's story, a very bad man. The down-and-out fighter ships with the captain and goes to sea with him. On an ocean steamer, a young heiress and young man, newly married, are going abroad on their honeymoon The steamer founders in mid-ocean, all hands going down with it except the young couple, who escape in a life-boat. Later they are picked up at sea by the "Wasp." The captain takes advantage of the girl's helpless position, after setting her husband to work in the forecastle. The young couple try to reason with the captain by promising him a liberal reward. The ex-fighter, now a sailor of the sloop crew, takes their part. While he is fighting off the captain and some of his gang, the young husband and wife manage to escape from the sloop in one of the dories. They are later picked up by another steamer and saved. While they are getting away, their protector fights off the captain and his villainous desperadoes, and finally falls dead in the struggle. The last seen of the young couple is a view of them in the cabin of another steamer, thinking of what may have befallen the man who sacrificed his life for them.
