Jack Bronx, returning from the war, is packed off by his fond parents on their private yacht, with one of his army pals. On the way to Havana they pick up a stranger who turns out to be a secret envoy from the Kingdom of Azuria, in search of a lost princess. Chance favoring they trace the princess as one of the passengers on another yacht. Great is the chase, thrilling the adventures which eventually take the party to the Florida swamps into the ancient haunts of the Seminoles. The princess is rescued, Jack falls violently in love with her, and the old emissary hard put to it to save her, under the circumstances, for the throne of Azuria. Jack’s resourceful friend settles the matter by demonstrating to everybody’s satisfaction that the emissary’s orders to deliver the princess did not contain the provision that she must be single when found.
