Synopsis
Wrongly accused of a crime Chéri-Bibi is sentence to imprisonment on the penal colony of Devil's Island in French Guiana. During the journey he leads a mutiny of the prisoners and they gain control of the ship. In the middle of the ocean he comes across a raft with the castaway Maxime du Touchais, the unworthy husband of Cécily the woman Chéri-Bibi loves.
