Carver, his chum Blake, and two or three other officers, take shore leave at Nagasaki and go sight-seeing. They visit a Japanese garden and meet Myo, a beautiful Geisha girl. Carver falls in love with the girl. So infatuated is he that he refuses to return to his ship. Blake, in order to save Carver from himself, attempts to arrest him, but Carver makes his escape. Blake, to save Carver from disgrace in the service, tells the captain that Carver has fallen and broken his thigh and will be compelled to remain in the hospital for some time. Carver marries Myo and remains in Japan and writes to Cecelia, breaking the engagement. Two years later, Cecelia's father Senator Ridgway is ordered to Japan on diplomatic service. They meet Carver in the Japanese Tea Garden. He is now a derelict, spending most of his time drinking. Carver learns that Senator Ridgway is desirous of procuring certain papers from the Japanese government and in order to regain his lost favor in Cecelia's eyes attempts to steal the papers from Baron Yoshido. He is watched by Takura, Myo's deposed lover, and followed to Senator Ridgway's apartments, where Carver commits suicide rather than be captured by the Japanese soldiers. The picture closes with Myo sobbing at her shrine in the garden. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
