The British tramp steamer
Glencairn is anchored off a West Indian island, from which is heard a melancholy, crooning chant. On deck, the seamen await the arrival of Bella, the bumboat woman, who brings three girls and a boatload of fruit in which they smuggle bottles of rum. The Irishman Driscoll distributes the liquor, and an orgy of drinking and dancing begins. The prettiest of the girls, Pearl, leaves Yank to make advances to Smitty, a quiet Englishman burdened by memories of an unfortunate love affair that sent him to sea. When he does not respond, Pearl turns on him furiously and goes off with Yank. The party becomes riotous, ending with a fight in which a man is stabbed to death. The mate finally arrives to send the women ashore, and the men leave the deck, as the melancholy chant continues from the island.
