Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine review,[2] Donald Allen is reported killed in France during the war. His fiancee, Corinne McRea, inherits his property. Donald, a victim of lost memory through shock, returns to America married to his French nurse, Suzanne, under the name of John Rolfe. They both obtain jobs as servants at Donald's home. He is recognized by the estate trustee. Corinne attempts to escape with the bank roll, but is foiled by Suzanne. An operation restores Donald's memory of his old life, but he temporarily forgets Suzanne. However, he regains his lost consciousness in time to know his wife and all ends well.
