Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? A most unusual picture, portraying the adventures of a woman, a man. and a brute in a vision of the primitive. The woman is on the seashore with her sweetheart and a rough boat-man. She falls into a dream-doze and has a vision of the three of them wrecked on a desert island. The man is courageous, but has no knowledge of the practical things. The brute saves their lives because he knows how to do things. They revert back to the primitive in their mode of life, and the brute wins the woman, in the vision, from her gentlemanly sweetheart. A passing ship sees their signal and sends a boat ashore for them. The brute has so won the affections of the woman, in the vision, that they hide in the tropical jungle and refuse to be rescued. They prefer to remain in the primitive without the conventionalities of civilization.
