Plot
Sea captain "Hurricane" Hardy searches for treasure in the Sahara Desert and encounters Helen Maitland, the last remaining member of a missionary group. He offers her protection and carries her to the coast, with the intention of claiming her for himself when she recuperates. At a rundown seacoast hotel, Helen befriends Ralph Alden, a young man fighting off addiction and despair, as well as a three-year-old orphan named "Peroxide" whom Leon Roche, the proprietor, is rearing. Hurricane Hardy decides to attack Helen, but the touch of the child's white hands fills him with shame and remorse. Hurricane reforms and adopts the child, leaving Helen free to rehabilitate Ralph, her new love.[3]
