The story

Taro is a native of the island of Tofua who kidnaps a wife named Lilleo from the neighbouring island while bride hunting. At first, she greatly dislikes him but comes to love him. During a feast, an American schooner arrives at the island and offers liquor and trinkets, such as pocket watches to the natives if they sign a form they can not read, which forces them to work in terrible conditions in the phosphate mine on the island of Patua for the Olympic Mining Company.
