Description
A sea captain who has fashioned a wooden woman after the image of his dead wife for the front of his ship is attacked by pirates who leave them adrift on the open sea. The ship does not respond to the pirate's attempts to steer it and instead heads into a storm where it founders upon the rocks, casting the pirates into the surf. Then, the wooden lady is sighted by another vessel where it floats against the current leading the vessel back to the raft where her captain and crew have been abandoned. Its task accomplished, the wooden lady sinks beneath the waves with a smile upon her face.
