[2] As described in a film magazine,[3] fascinated by the lure of white robes and dancing, Bava (Bara) enters the Temple of Buddha.

She is soon disillusioned and, yielding to the entreaties of Major John Dare (Thompson) of the British army, she flees with him and becomes his wife, incurring the enmity of Ysora (Kennard), high priest from the temple.

A child is born to the two but is later found dead with the Buddhist death mark on its forehead.

At a Paris resort she meets a theatrical manager (Warwick) who is fascinated by her dancing.

At the night of her premiere her husband attempts a reconciliation, but is unsuccessful and kills himself in her dressing room.
