Rose of the Islands (1912)

Jean Pichaud and Peter Brent, a boatman, are rivals for the hand of Rose, daughter of Ferrault, a fisherman. Jean wins her love. Jean, being a gambler, cajoles Rose into giving him a few coins from Ferrault's. Having found out where Ferrault keeps his savings, he returns in Rose's absence to steal the "stocking." He is caught at it by Brent, who, hearing Rose coming home, hides Jean in a cupboard, to save the girl from knowing her lover is a thief. Rose, seeing the torn plank on the floor, suspects Brent of the theft. Ferrault comes in and calls for rum from the cupboard. Rose, about to fetch it, is stopped by Brent. Truth dawns on her and Ferrault, impatient, throws open the cupboard himself. Jean is revealed. He points to Brent and accuses him of taking the stocking. The stocking, being found in Brent's bosom, where he had hastily thrust it, suspicion falls on him. Brent walks under a ban. Rose transfers her love to him. Brent, unknowingly, fearing lest the scorn of the community goad him to a true confession, decides to leave the island. Meanwhile, urged by Jean, Ferrault insists that Rose shall marry Jean at once. At bay, she determines to flee with Brent. She hides in his boat on the night of his departure. Brent in midsea is confronted by Rose, who confesses her love for him.
