Plot

As described in a film magazine reviews,[2] Captain Malcolm Teale loves Helen Farrar, daughter of Colonel John Farrar. The Colonel, fatally wounded in an Indian fight, tells Teale that his son Royle, believed dead, is actually alive and a fugitive from justice. Following the death of the Colonel, his wife takes as a companion the woman who is the son's wife. The fugitive son joins the Army and meets his wife when he is assigned to the post. A series of coincidences entangle Teale, the son, and the son's wife, resulting in Teale and Helen becoming estranged. However, after some explanations, the difficulties are resolved.
