A young English aristocrat, Anthony, becomes secretly engaged to a woman, Eleanor, but instead she marries his brother. Anthony moves to the United States, and another woman, Nina, asks to go with him. He rejects her request. Pamela Short explains, 'After Nina sees Elinore stab herself, she threatens to accuse Anthony of murder unless he takes her, but still he refuses.'
