Synopsis

The heroine Larita (Isabel Jeans) is married to a drunken brute. After he catches her almost being seduced by the artist who has been painting her picture, he brings suit for divorce on the grounds of adultery. Since she is now a disgraced woman of "easy virtue", Larita takes to the French Riviera where she meets and marries a rich younger man, John Whittaker (Robin Irvine). She doesn't tell him about her past and they return to England to meet his family. His mother strongly disapproves of her, suspecting Larita of immorality.

Larita's past comes to light and she decides to allow John to divorce her so he can marry Sarah, a local girl whom his mother had in mind as a suitable match.

Critics' reviews

"The first half of the film, an addition detailing events only described in the play, is pure Hitchcock, its combination of conciseness and idiosyncrasy demonstrating his mastery of silent narration."

Anna Smith: Time Out
"Coward's strength was sparkling dialogue, which makes his work a poor fit for the silent cinema."
