A simple story of shorelife in a coastal town on Long Island . The locals work the lighthouse and the life saving station. Artists come to paint the quaint seaside scenes and the quaint locals. City folks come for vacation. Janet is the daughter of a wayward mother. She is raised by Captain "Billy Daddy", her supposed father who works at the life saving station. A young artist comes to the dunes to paint and he asks to paint her. She poses for him and they fall in love. Then her wealthy real father shows up on the scene.
