Synopsis
After divorcing his wife, Laura, Arthur Randall becomes prosperous, and Laura attempts unsuccessfully to win him back. Randall's son becomes ill, and he engages Joan Laird and her mother to care for the boy. Society misunderstands, and Joan is branded as a parasite. Laura kidnaps the boy, Bertie, and Joan gives chase. Laura's car goes over a cliff, and she is killed. Bertie survives the crash, however, and he and Joan attempt to find their way to a refuge. They become lost in the hills; and to keep Bertie from dying of hunger and thirst, Joan cuts her arm and forces the boy to drink her blood. Rescue comes, and Joan marries Randall.
