Synopsis
Philip, a powerfully built Greek, falls in love with Toinette, a French girl whom he meets when she is injured in an auto accident. Later, as a result of the accident, she is hospitalized and operated upon and then recovers. A hospital attendant misinforms Philip that Toinette has died, however; and the Greek, keeping a pledge to his love, continues to sing beneath her hospital room window every night at midnight. Meanwhile, a gang has been terrorizing a park near the hospital, and one night during a confrontation with the police, the leader is knifed and taken to the same doctor who has arranged for Toinette to enter the hospital. While at the hospital, the leader recognizes Philip as the person who slipped him a pack of cigarettes when he was hospitalized earlier, during Toinette's stay. The gangster informs Philip that his love is alive and well. The Greek rushes to Toinette, who had been told that Philip had returned to Greece, and the lovers are reunited.

Notes
The film's working title was Orpheus. Some contemporary sources cite Browning as the film's sole director, while others give Browning and Lucas joint directing credit. Alice Rae, also known as Alice Wilson, married Browning in the summer of 1917. Trade articles from early in the production credit Elmer Clifton and Alexander McClure as cast members, but it is unclear whether they appear in the finished film. One scene was shot at a confectionary store in Los Angeles.
