Nina, a poor fisher girl, whose parents have been lost at sea, finds her one joy in life in the love of Glenn Morey. Miss Arnold, a young artist from the city, comes to the island. She is attracted to Morey's appearance and engages him as her model. He becomes infatuated with her. Nina, neglected and heart-broken, sees her happiness slipping from her. At last, one day near the end of summer, Nina overhears Morey ask the artist to marry him. Miss Arnold puts him off till the next morning. That night the fisher girl throws herself off the rocks into the sea. Early the following day, Morey comes down to the rocks to brood over Miss Arnold. She has spurned him and gone back to the city with Leicester Blake, to whom all this time she had been engaged. As Morey sits staring out over the water, the incoming tide washes the body of Nina to his feet.
