Synopsis
Frank Armour, the son of an aristocratic British family, emigrates to Canada where he receives news that his fiancée Julia Haldwell, has married another man with the blessing of the Armours. To humiliate his family, Frank marries a half-breed Indian, Lali, and sends her back to England where his crippled brother Richard befriends and educates her. As Lali becomes a lady and bears Frank a son, Frank degenerates into drunkenness. Saved by an American engineer, Frank returns to England. Ashamed of his treatment of Lali, he plans to return her to her tribe, but discovers that she is now a respected pillar of society. Frank begs Lali's forgiveness and they are reconciled.
