    In 1897, merchant seaman Angus Beame marries Mary Bourne for her eventual inheritance. When Mary's father's will is read, and is not to Angus' satisfaction, he sails away and leaves Mary. In response, Mary places a curse on her betraying husband that he may not return to harbor until the day she dies.
