    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The only surviving material on this film, which runs approximately a half hour, is an abridgment which includes an introductory sequence, and most, but not all, of the Colman footage, and little else. Hence, the leading couple, around whom the story revolves, are hardly seen, and the Colman character becomes the focus of attention.
