In late 19th century Vienna, Lena Smith, a naive peasant girl from Hungary, has a child by a corrupt young cavalry officer, and goes to work his house as a servant, hiding the truth from his unsympathetic father, while the son returns to his profligate ways. Robbed of her child first when he is a baby, and later when they are separated by the war, she suffers imprisonment, contempt, and shame in order to protect the child.

A lost film – a 4 minute fragment from the end of the first reel of this film was recovered in Dalian, China, and is now kept at Theatre Museum, Waseda University, Japan. It was first shown to the public in 2003.
