On the dangerous coast of Brittany, where the Ocean and the Channel meet, pirates wait for ships to be drawn by the current, they raid the wrecks and capture the survivors. One of the raiders rescues the beautiful daughter of a wealthy family, helps the girl escape and brings her back to her family. Wrongly cited as “the first silent vampire film," it is not about actual vampires.
