Stephen Parcot, i he father, is in the Far North pur suing his avocation as an explorer. Mrs. Parcot has hurried overseas to Belgium to bring back one daugh ter who had been placed in a con vent there. Dininy Parcot (the lead in the picture, played by Blanche Sweet, who also appears as the other sister in several parts of the production) is alone in the beautiful Parcot home. She re ceives a letter from her loved ones abroad a letter that almost sends her reason tottering from its throne - a letter that tells her that invad ing soldiers have committed against both her mother and her sister "the unpardonable sin." The letter has been one last note of explanation and a plea that mother an dsister be forgotten, a cry that their disgrace be shielded from the world. With the letter carefully hidden in a wallet. Dimny. half crazed with jirief and not figuring the difficul ties of the task she has set for her self, sets out to find her loved ones. Her train is delayed just outside a little town in the middle west. A chance traveling acquaintance of fers aid and. later as Dimny and her acquaintance are walking thru a shaded street in ttie little village just at dusk, the acquaintance, smitten by Diruny's beauty, attempts to force his attentions upon her Dimny collapses; her reason flees. Only a zephyr of the breath of life remains! Weeks later she recovers her strength, both mental and phy sical, to tind that the has been nurs ed in the home of the Windsors. Noll Windsor, an undergraduate at the college in the little town, has learned to love Dimny. She tells him her story and torn between the fear of all men and the thought that she may waver from her path of chosen duty, leaves the home without announcement, to continue on her journey. Soon after, young Windsor answ ers his government's call to serve with Hoover's Belgian relief com mission in the devastated country, lie arrives in Washington to secure bus passports and discovers Dimny, who has been in the capitol city for some time, unable to continue her j.urn-y for the reason that the gov criimint has discontinued the is-, suauce of passports to "unmarried" women. Noll and Dimny effect a marriage of convenience, Dimny's passports being securable in no oth er way. I'pon their arrival in Belgium, Noll, husband in name only, finds if pos-siblo to do much to aid Dininy in her search for her people. To gether they travel the devastated regions, even penetrating the enemy country- -for in those days the Unit ed States had not entered the war. A veritable pawn of Fate, it is Dimny's misfortune to encounter the very beast who had ravished her sister. When he sees the fresh young girl from California. Colonel Kknim mistakes her for the sister whom he has -o .hamefully treated in Belgium. He is mystified and some repairs for his farm machin ery.
