A girl, her suitor and her father, sailing to Ireland, discover that Abie, who has fallen in love with girl, has stowed away on the ship. In order to escape detection, Abie dons feminine attire and mingles with the passengers and guests in the ladies’ salon. Throughout, the father tries to sneak a smoke on hid old clay pipe over his daughter’s objection. A storm comes up, the ship sinks and all the survivors are washed ashore on a desert island (in the Atlantic?). Abie talks the cannibal chief into a partnership and has himself appointed Mayor, and marries the girl.
