After Mary Pickford (as Marget MacTavish) loses her father at sea, she becomes "The Pride of the Clan"; this makes Ms. Pickford the leader of her Scottish island community. For most young women, the responsibility would prove too daunting; but, the spunky Pickford perseveres. She whips the town into shape. Pickford finds romance with Matt Moore (as Jamie Campbell); but, a secret from his past threatens their future.
This was the lesser of the collaborations between Pickford and director Maurice Tourneur. The perpetually stormy coastline photography is a strength, with Marblehead, Massachusetts doubling for Scotland. John van den Broek and Lucien N. Andriot handled the camera. Despite the promising storyline, Pickford's role as leader of her community disappoints. She appears to be a divine link between the people and God. When the Church needs parishioners, Pickford runs around town cracking her father's whip, which frightens worshipers into their pews.
