Plot edit
As described in a film magazine review,[3] a young woman who is the victim of a scandalous tale involving her lover, who is believed killed in France during the World War, is loved by another young man who, knowing the tale, still urges her to marry him. After they are married, the husband becomes jealous of the lost lover, who one day turns up with an arm gone and his mind a blank from shell shock. His mental balance is restored, however, and he absolves his former sweetheart of any wrongdoing. Thereafter, the husband and wife are happy again.
