Plot

As described in a film magazine review,^[4] Gulian Eyre, a victim of World War I, is deserted by his nurse-wife just as he is to recover his sight. She goes to New York to fight for him against Lael Satori, the girl to whom he was engaged. Vida becomes companion to his mother. Lael insists on becoming engaged again to Gulian for his money and social position. Gulian’s brother, Philip, having involved hopelessly the fortune of Eyre & Co., brokers, commits suicide and Gulian is forced into the business world against his inclinations, shorn of his fortune. Lael breaks her engagement and he soon marries Vida, his mother’s companion. His fingers, made sensitive through eight years of blindness, recognize her as the nurse he married in France.
