Synopsis
Lady Gwen, the last of the sporting Grayles, falls in love with Donald MacAllan, a bright young medical student far below her station. Gwen's father, who opposes the match, introduces her to Prince Carlos, who wishes to marry her in order to pay off his creditors. Donald enlists during the World War, and Carlos continues his courtship. When Donald returns from the fighting, Carlos tells him that he is engaged to Gwen, and Donald therefore makes no attempt to see her. Gwen mistakes Donald's seeming indifference for contempt and seeks to forget him by living riotously in several European capitals. Having exhausted her fortune and ruined her health, Gwen returns to Scotland and goes to live in the same cottage where Donald used to study. She becomes ill and in delirium calls for Donald. Her old nurse goes to fetch him at the Grayle estate, which, having become wealthy, he has just bought. Donald rescues Gwen (who has wandered out in a storm) and nurses her back to health.
