In the Mystic East, a young yogi learns of a sin he
committed in his incarnation centuries ago and sets out to atone for
it; after years of search he arrives in a small New York town where
he recognizes Sunya and Paul Judson as reincarnations of the people
he wronged.
Sunya, having promised to marry Paul and go to South
America on his first engineering assignment, is courted also by
millionaire Robert Goring; by De Salvo, an opera impresario; and by
Louis Anthony, a young bank cashier. She learns that her
father is in financial straits, and the yogi reveals in a crystal
that disaster and unhappiness will result regardless of whether she
goes with De Salvo to become a singer or marries the millionaire to
save her father.
At length, Sunya decides to follow her heart and
marry Paul.
