Frederico plans to marry Musgrove's daughter, Ethel, but she is in love with Jean, a beachcomber.
While conducting an experimental dive, Jean and Frederico discover a treasure chest and agree to keep it hidden from Musgrove. On their way back to shore, however, Frederico leaves Jean behind after he becomes trapped by a giant clam.
