Devils Island

French Penal law at the turn of the century exceeds in brutality, allowing prisoners on Devil's Island to marry, but condemning the innocent offspring to life imprisonment on the isle. Brilliant surgeon Leon Valyon is the spawn of just such a union, and his mother, Jeanette, has dedicated her life to devising a way for her son to escape. The two have been secretly working on a small boat and Jeanette has bribed officials to smuggle her son on a ship to Paris. A week before he is to depart, Leon comes to his mother with heartbreaking news. He has fallen in love with a local girl and refuses to leave!
