'Complying with the strange conditions of his uncle's will, young John Strong finds himself on Thursday Island intent on finding a pearl that can match the world-famous Strong Imperial, a task he must achieve in two years, for the Reuben Strong pearling station and his great wealth will revert to Black Darley the unscrupulous manager. Many adventures are encountered in the quest, and John Strong finds wonderful romance in the South Seas. He sought one pearl and found another, a pearl among girls. The photography is very fine, and there are some most interesting films of the teeming life of the sea many fathoms down.'
