[1][2] Strung around the idea of reincarnation, this film goes back in time to the days of the Spanish galleons and pirates burying their treasure; treasure to be found centuries later.

In her 10th film, Marion Davies plays a young woman whose trances lead her to a pirate's treasure.

The prologue to the film shows Davies as a cavewoman, an Egyptian princess, a medieval damsel, and as Lucia.
