On the day of his wedding, Sir John Carteret's fiancée, Moonyeen, is killed by a jealous rival named Jeremy, leaving him emotionally devastated.

He adopts and raises the child as his own but is alarmed when, as a young woman, she falls in love with the son of Moonyeen's murderer.
Directed by Sidney Franklin. Starring Norma Shearer, Fredric March, Leslie Howard, O. P. Heggie and Ralph Forbes.
