- "Life disappears or modifies its appearances so fast that everything takes on an aspect of illusion - a momentary fizzing and boiling with smoke rings, like pouring dissident chemicals into a retort. Here man was advancing, but in a few years his plaster and bricks would be disappearing once more into the insatiable maw of the clover." - Loren Eiseley, The Night Country (1997)
- Merilla (Annette Kellerman), Queen of the Seas, finds a book among the wreckage at the bottom of the sea, that contains a prophecy that she shall save four human beings and then receive a human body of her own and an immortal soul. King Boreas (Walter Law), Master of the Storm, wrecks many ships and sends sea sirens to drag the victims to a certain death. Merilla saves the predicted number of lives and the fourth proves to be Prince Hero (Hugh Thompson), who is on his way to meet his betrothed, Princess Leanda (Mildred Keats). Merilla and the Prince fall in love with each other, but Ariela (Beth Irvine) tells them they must be unselfish and the Prince goes on to meet with Princess Leandra, who is really in love with one of her courtiers, Clovis (Fred Drucker). Boreas captures the Princess and puts her in a dungeon. Merilla has been rewarded with a human body and such a beautiful soul that she vows to rescue the Princess even though it means the loss of the Prince to her. She goes to the dungeon, encourages the Princess and walks out on a spider thread to warn the Prince of the great danger to the Princess. The Prince and his Knights come in time to save the Princess from a horrible fate. The Princess confesses her love for Clovis and the two couples are united.

- Jim and Will Pattiz spent 15 days exploring Acadia National Park in Maine to film it at the peak of the fall foliage's brilliance. The park consists of mountains that loom above the rugged Atlantic coastline. Inland, the film documents visits to ponds created by beavers, lighthouses that warn fisherman of jagged rocks and steep valleys carved by glaciers long ago. This film is, in part, a celebration of Acadia's upcoming centennial and is dedicated to George Dorr, who devoted much of his energy and personal wealth to the establishment, care, and expansion of what is now known as Acadia National Park.
