Marie Galante

Marie is kidnapped and taken to Panama by a lecherous sea captain, who abandons her when she will not give in to his desires.

She spends most of her money to care for a dying black man whom no one else will tend to. When she does finally save enough money for a steamer fare, she is murdered the night before the boat sails.
