Plot edit

As described in a film magazine review,[4] Fay Kennion becomes engaged to Horace Pierpont, but breaks the engagement when she sees the young woman Fifi in a negligee in Horace's Venice hotel apartment. She goes to Beni-Mora in the Sahara where, to spite her former lover, she marries Dr. Alan Mortimer, who had long been in love with her. Horace follows her and, when Fay learns that the woman in the apartment in Venice had been trying to blackmail him, their friendship is renewed. Horace takes Fay and her husband on a trip across the desert. Alan's suspicions are aroused and, when Horace is bitten by a snake, he refuses to provide medical aid until he learns the truth about the relations between his wife and her former lover. They both lie at first, but then Horace insists on telling the truth before allowing Alan to save him from death from the snakebite. The former lovers separate, and the husband and wife start back towards Beni-Mora. While in route they are waylaid by desert bandits who kill Alan, leaving Fay free to follow her heart with Horace.
