Hubert loves Blanche, the daughter of the Duke of Monterbo, and for sometime their wedding has been looked forward to by intimate friends. But Hubert meets Helen, a beautiful sister of one of his friends, and she immediately supplants Blanche in Hubert's affection. Reluctantly he writes a letter to Blanche, telling her that it is best that they break their engagement. Blanche receives the letter and is heartbroken. About this time Jules Card, an artist, arrives at the villa of the Duke for a visit. He and Blanche are often seen together and she confides her story to him. Their continued friendship ripens into love on Jules' part and he asks her to be his wife. Sending him a note, Blanche explains that she has for him nothing more than the highest respect, but if he is satisfied with that, she would accept him. They are married, and although apparently happy, Blanche cannot forget her former love. Hubert now married to Helen, is out for a climb in the Alps when he becomes afflicted ...

This story is fairly interesting, because it has been sincerely acted and the players (they are not too well known) are personally pleasing. But it is discursive and not concise enough; it lacks the piercing power of an arrow that is logically straight, has a base of reality and has been flung out with some will power. The backgrounds are fine, some of them show grotesque, lava-covered hills with rocks twisted and bent or lying like torpid snakes; but we could wish for clearer photography in many of the early scenes. - The Moving Picture World, June 14, 1913
