Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Luke and his companion, Tin-horn Tommy, are now able bodied seamen cast away on the rocks of some unfamiliar island. While sunning themselves on a large boulder musing of the biscuits, salt pork and lime-juice that were stored away in the ship’s poop they are set upon by two vicious-looking individuals who with spears in their hands order them to do a double quick away from the beach. Soon they are brought before the chief of the place, who orders the two to guide a large palm leaf through the air above the heads of his wives, who total in all about six, so that the ladies might not feel the effects of the tropical sun. The men soon lose control of their optics and the ladies are very willing that they stop work and sit down to a little tete-a-tete. This so angers the chief that he orders them to amuse his baboon-like wife who has been ostracized by the others. Luke in his turn shows resentment and forces the chief to abdicate in his favor. As chief he seeks the good graces of a pretty white girl, but her sweetheart nearby offers very sturdy objections. The chief again becomes muster and our heroes are glad of the opportunity to swim toward home and we leave them returning to our shores.
