Synopsis
John and Harry Dennys, brothers from a wealthy English family, both love Edith Danvers, but when John goes off to fight in India, Harry marries her and then flees to Australia to escape his creditors. Upon returning home, John finds Edith alone and renews his courtship, but is mysteriously rejected by her. In his despair, John moves to a fishing village where he falls in love with Nora, a local girl. The couple returns to the Dennys estate, and Edith seeks out John, eventually confessing the truth about Harry. Spying her husband in an apparent intimate embrace with Edith, Nora becomes suspicious, and when Harry shows up and insists on a midnight meeting with his wife, Nora mistakes him for John and is overcome with jealousy. Attempting to drown herself, she is rescued by smugglers and taken to a convent. Years later, Nora, now a novice, goes to Australia to work in a leper colony and accidentally encounters her husband at her tombstone, still mourning her "passing." Misunderstandings are finally corrected, and Nora gives up her habit to reunite with John.
