As described in a film magazine,[2] blackguard usurer Michael Waltburn (Grimwood), assuming for business purposes the name of Milton Dudley, keeps his daughter Olive (Stonehouse) in ignorance of his profession. He arranges with the Duchess of Remington (Kelso) to sponsor Olive socially, and in return he will not enforce payment of a debt owed to him. At the home of Harold, Lord Ingestre (Mulhall), fiancé of Lady Brenda Carylon (De La Motte), Olive meets social rake Hector Grant (Elliott). Hector knows Olive's identity and threatens her father with disclosure unless he is reimbursed with loans. The quartet meet again in India where the two men are in the King's Rifles. Hector deceives Olive into a secret marriage and then refuses to acknowledge her as his wife and drives her from him with revealing her father's secret. Hector then resumes his siege for the heart of Lady Brenda, who previously had spurned his affections, and leads her to believe that Harold is the husband of Olive. Searching for her to discover the real truth, Harold finds Olive in Italy. An earthquake associated with a volcanic eruption in Italy kills Hector while on the way to make reparation, and Lady Brenda learns the real situation.
