Dr. Samuel Mudd (Baxter) is wrongly convicted of conspiring to assassinate President Lincoln after he unwittingly sets the broken leg of assassin John Wilkes Booth (McDonald). He's sent to the titular island where Mudd cares for the inmates and guards, saving many during a yellow fever epidemic. Thanks to his heroism, Mudd's case is then reopened.
