The Mate of the Sally Ann (also known as Peggy Rebels)[1] is a 1917 American silent comedy-drama film directed by Henry King and starring Mary Miles Minter.

[3] As described in various film magazine reviews,[4][5][6][7] Sally (Minter) lives with her grandfather Captain Ward (Periolat) on an old, beached schooner.

Her mother died giving birth to her, without revealing the father, and her grandfather has vowed revenge on the man that he believes despoiled his daughter.

The judge provides her with a beautiful dress and shoes for the first time, but the Captain, discovering her absence and the invitation, storms into the party and drags her back to the ship.

When she comes round she finds out that Judge Gordon is her father, who had secretly married her mother but then lost touch with her after illness and a miscarriage of letters.
