Storyline

Edit

Dr. John Niblock is conducting research in Japan when he is called to revive Asuti Hishuri, who has fainted during her wedding ceremony. Upon learning that Asuti is being forced into a loveless marriage, the chivalrous John offers to marry the girl in name only and take her to America where she can be free. When John and his Japanese bride arrive in San Francisco, California, the doctor's former sweetheart appears heartbroken, and Asuti realizes that she is in love with Ito, her husband's secretary. Asuti stages a love scene between Ito and herself so that her husband may find an excuse for denouncing her. The scheme works, thus making the happiness of all four possible. —AFI

Taglines
- Something new and dramatic and rarely beautiful in pictures- a heart story of flowery Japan and a lovely little daughter of the cherry-blossom, whom a clean-cut American saves from a hated alliance only to get himself into all kinds of trouble with an equally lovely person back home. A picture that leaps across the sea and ends in a delightful surprise. (Print Ad- Walker County Messenger, ((LaFayette, Ga.)) 24 September 1920)
