Plot

The Toronto Daily Star said of the film that it was "a photo-drama of rare strength featuring Sessue Hayakawa, the well-known Japanese actor. This photo-play has an absorbing theme that rises in the denouement to a tragic height, the supreme sacrifice of one man securing the happiness of the woman he loves and insuring her a peaceful future with her child. Sessue Hayakawa plays the principal role with that reserve of intense strength that marks all his characterizations. He is surrounded by a magnificent cast headed by Florence Vidor."[3]
