Isolated island with shipwrecked men showing the range of male attitudes toward innocent winged-women. The men capture some of the women and cut their wings off and clip them every six months so that they cannot grow back. Girl children are born with wings, and the men plan to cut theirs off when they reach adulthood. The women revolt and win. A boy with wings is born.
