Drama.

Synopsis: [New York Age, 28 September 1929, page ?] Briefly, it is the story of a beautiful girl, who was cold to the love of a good and ambitious young lad. Believing the rosy promises of a smooth-tongued stranger, she runs away and follows him to the city. The unhappiness and disaster which followed can easily be imagined. Deserted on her wedding night — alone, penniless, in a foreign city, left to the none too tender mercy of strangers. Her sad plight and the events which follow her desertion make a gripping, brutally frank, yet wonderfully, absorbing picture.

Survival status: The film is presumed lost.
