As described in a film magazine,[3] Lilla Gravert (Farrar) falls under the spell of the Eric Helsingor (Carleton), a captain of chance, only to be deceived by the rogue. She attempts suicide but is saved by Larz Olrik (Love) who, by the customs of his country, is engaged to Kristine (Blood). Larz induces Lilla to accept the invitation of Isaac Meyer (Stern), a friend of Lilla's late father, to come to America. There she and Larz are married. Larz is trustee of Kristine's estate and finds that much of her money is disappearing. Kristine has also become a victim of Helsingor's and is being blackmailed. Helsingor turns his attention to Marie Meyer (Bellamy), Isaac's motherless daughter, for his usual sinister purposes. Lilla insists that he must not carry out his plans. He offers to give her incriminating letters if she will not stand in his way. Lilla turns on him and is so glorious in her rage that Helsingor tells her that it is she that he wants. She is struggling with him when Kristine kills Helsingor and then commits suicide, removing Lilla and Marie's menace.
