Plot
According to a film magazine,[2] "Clarissa, a beautiful and wealthy half-caste, is brought to England by her mercenary lover, Fennell, who lodges her with his aunts in an Irish seaside village. Here she is found by Bellairs, a lonely young bachelor, whose curiosity, aroused by Fennell's cynical story of her history overheard at a restaurant, quickly changes to love, which is not, however, reciprocated. To get hold of Carissa's money Fennell induces her to go through a mock marriage with him, but soon afterwards heartlessly deserts her. In her trouble Clarissa turns to Bellairs, who is on the point of committing suicide through disappontment at losing her, and who shields her when she bears a still-born child. Later, through the instrumentality of his good friend, Cruikshank, Bellairs finds happiness in a marriage with Clarissa."
