"Valentino, who placed a trade advertisement describing his role as "a new style heavy," plays Count Roberto di Fraccini. In fact, Valentino's striking appearance and the strength of his performance turns on its head this society melodrama otherwise typical of the period by making the villain by far its most interesting character. The Count is a fortune hunter having an affair with Ethel Spencer McMillan, wife of wealthy older businessman Fiske McMillan. After the illicit couple unsuccessfully plots to blackmail McMillan for a large sum of money, the Count tells his lover's daughter, Mary, that in return for her hand in marriage, he will save her father from a life in prison."
