THE story of a poverty-stricken girl who claims an officer supposedly killed in France as her husband and who is taken into his family as his widow. One day the "husband" comes to life and the fair imposter sees shame and disgrace staring her in the face. A picture that holds its audiences breathless right to its beautiful end.
