If Eve's Leaves has the "look" of a Cecil B. DeMille production, it's
because DeMille himself functioned as producer. Salty sea captain Robert
Edeson tries to keep his daughter Leatrice Joy away from men, but the
rambunctious Joy yearns to experience such forbidden pleasures as
kissing. When Edeson's ship docks at a Chinese port, both Joy and
seaman William Boyd are captured by river bandits. The bandit chieftain
hopes to take Joy as his bride, and to secure her compliance he binds
Boyd hand-and-foot and prepares to subject the poor boy to torture. Joy
takes this opportunity to steal a kiss from the helpless Boyd, whereupon
a melodramatic scene becomes a comic one -- just as the stage play upon
which this film was based was essentially a comedy. Captain Edeson
rescues the lovers in the nick of time, admitting that it was a big mistake
to keep his daughter locked up and agreeing to allow her to live her own
life from now on.
