Ordered unexpectedly back into action, Captain Trent is unable to obtain a
marriage license and, without benefit of clergy, must spend the night with
his fiancée, Kitty Vane, in an English inn. Trent is blinded in battle
and taken prisoner by the Germans. He is reported to be dead, and his
friend, Captain Shannon, discreetly woos Kitty, seeking to soothe her grief
with his gentle love.
After the war, Shannon finds Trent in a remote
corner of England, writing children's stories for a living. Loyal to
his former comrade in arms, Shannon informs Kitty of Trent's reappearance.
She goes to him, and he conceals his blindness, telling Kitty that he no
longer cares for her. She sees through his deception, however, and
they are reunited. |
