Storyline

When her father is killed, leaving her destitute, Selina Peake (Colleen Moore) becomes a teacher in rural Illinois and marries impoverished farmer Pervus DeJong (John Bowers). Raised in a wealthy environment, Selina finds her new life hard, but takes comfort in her son, Dirk (Ben Lyon), and farms the land herself after Pervus dies.

Short Review

That it is one of the most artistic pictures ever produced Is beyond question. That it is the medium wherein Colleen Moore exceeds the wildest expectations by her portrayal of an old woman is also indisputable.
