Synopsis

Bearing the burden of an accusation of a breach of diplomacy committed by his brother, Hashimura Togo leaves Japan in disgrace for the United States where he enters the employ of Mrs. Reynolds as a butler. Togo soon learns that Mrs. Reynold's daughter Corinne, although in love with Dr. Garland, is being coerced into marrying Carlos Anthony who, having appropriated all of her deceased father's funds, now promises to save the family from financial ruin in return for Corinne's hand in marriage. Enlisting the aid of a reporter, Togo succeeds in proving Anthony's duplicity in time to stop the marriage, thus freeing Corinne to marry Garland, and after a series of misadventures, returns home, his name cleared, to his sweetheart in Japan.
