- Kind hearted millionaire Old Man Greyson sells Goose Island, off the Maine coast, to religious fisher folk who have established a squatters' settlement there, for three fish. When Greyson dies, the transferred deed is lost. Years later, Greyson's son George finds resistance when he attempts to evict the squatters. He laughs at their "fish story," and sends men to fight, but when he meets Mary Aldron, the beautiful ward of the village minister, George offers to accept her plea for him to withdraw if she will be his house guest for ten days. Humbled by Mary's innocence, George gives up his plans for seduction when she repels his advances. Back at the island, Mary is publicly denounced as a harlot by her once admiring friends. When the man she loves, a former derelict she earlier reformed, also turns against her, Mary seeks refuge with George. After a misunderstanding, she returns to the island, but George pursues and fights to save her from being branded with a gold cross. Mary then accepts George's love.
- Barbara Leland enters her beloved horse Vivandiere in a race at Beaumont, but is warned off the course because the stewards consider the animal dangerous. Trainer Sale Kernan is suspicious of the decision, as horses owned by the shady Classon, Barbara's trustee, always seem to get the best start. When Sale voices his suspicions, however, he is warned off by the stewards, who are indeed under Classon's influence. Desiring to start anew, Sale leaves for Florida, and is surprised to find Barbara and Vivandiere aboard the same boat. A fire breaks out aboard, but Sale is able to rescue Vivandiere, and a grateful Barbara hires him as the horse's chief trainer. Although the meetings in Florida are unregistered, they are controlled by crooks working under Classon, and Vivandiere loses his first race through their influence. Sale is determined to try again, however, and the horse wins the next race. Although Vivandiere's victory is disputed, one of the judges helps Sale, and soon the crooks and Classon are exposed. Classon commits suicide, leaving Barbara bankrupt, but she gladly turns to Sale for comfort.
