Der goldene Abgrund

The sisters Jola and Claire are saved from a burning ship, the former is brought up by a priest on a volcanic island ; the latter reaches Paris and becomes a plunderer of men. Her ruined lover is saved from suicide by an eccentric doctor who organizes a treasure-hunt expedition. They reach the island ; the last remnant of submerged Atlantis. Here the disconsolate one encounters Jola, the image of his lost love. The adventurers are attacked by escaped convicts. The volcano, long quiescent, erupts. The wicked perish. The lovers, with wealth incalculable, escape to Paris.
