Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? A sweetheart at every port has ever characterized the sailor, but it is believed that the sailor in this comedy carries the tradition a trifle further. Perhaps he was sincere for the moment in his declaration that each girl he met was the first and only, but with a sweetheart at home and one in another port and a wife in still another, fate dealt very kindly with him. He was the victim of his own impulse and paid back in his own coin, went his merry way.
