Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Angela (Mary Pickford), who tends the lighthouse in an Italian fishing village while her two brothers, Antonio (Jean De Briac) and Mario (Eddie Phillips), are fighting at the front in World War I, finds a foreign sailor (Fred Thomson) washed ashore who pretends to be an American. Angela cares for him, and they fall in love and are secretly married. In aiding his escape, she realizes she has helped a German spy and caused her brother's death through the spy's actions, but, after being caught, the stranger jumps to his death over a cliff. A child is born to Angela and, temporarily deranged when her sweetheart Giovanni (Raymond Bloomer) returns blind from the war, the nuns at the convent give her baby to Maria (Evelyn Dumo), who has lost her own child. Maria is drowned in a storm, but Angela rescues her child from the same shipwreck and finds happiness in marriage with Giovanni. |
