Plot
[edit]A young Civil engineer builds a bridge that later collapses which causes him to mentally collapse. He retreats to a South Pacific Ocean island and becomes a beachcomber. Later one of his former engineering supervisors comes to the island with his daughter to repair a lighthouse. She bets the local Governor that she can dress up a beach bum to pass as a society swell. She picks the young former engineer. He decides to teach her a lesson and takes her to a leprosy colony where she is "treated like dirt". She learns her lesson and her father gives him a job at the lighthouse.
