Synopsis
Sweethearts Elvina Grey and Dr. Dexter are injured in a laboratory explosion, and the physician leaves the small town when he is told that Elvina's face will be scarred for life. Twenty-five years later Elvina and the doctor return--she with a heavy veil over her face, and he a widower with a son, also a physician. When Dexter hears that Elvina is lonely, he wants to atone for his youthful folly and proposes marriage. Elvina not only refuses: she also lifts her veil to reveal a beautiful, unmarked face. Filled with remorse, the doctor commits suicide. It seems assured that Elvina will find happiness with a kindly gardener (The Piper), and the doctor's son receives man-hating Aunt Hittie's permission to marry Araminta Lee. (There is a sequence intended to propagandize against vivisection.)
