Plot
As described in a film magazine, the two girls were half-sisters and much alike in face and form, but the soul of one was pure and white and that of the other black with the dregs of sin. In New York, Isobel de Costa is carefully guarded until her father's death from the knowledge of her father's divorced wife and a daughter by that marriage. She seeks to aid them and meets only treachery and deceit, nearly perishing in a South American prison.Cast
