To please her selfish and calculating
mother, Dorothy Gordon is induced to marry wealthy Geoffrey Marsh,
though she loves Robert Brent, a young brain surgeon. Aboard his
yacht, Marsh attempts to force himself on the girl during a storm; he is
repulsed, and Dorothy is rescued from the sinking boat, while Marsh is
assumed to be dead.
Dr. Brent restores her health and, in time,
they are married and are expecting a child, when Brent announces he is
to perform an operation on an amnesia victim whom Dorothy recognizes as
Marsh. Though their marriage and happiness are at stake, Brent
refuses to neglect his professional duty, and the operation is a
success. Marsh, however, realizing the consequences, feigns
continued loss of memory and leaves them to their happiness. |
