Rita cares nothing for Dawson, except that he can furnish her with the funds necessary to keep her in luxury. Back in the country from Manila at the small army post in the San Rosa Valley Lieutenant Clark leaves on the boat fur a short visit to Manila. Clark is engaged to Amy Norris, daughter of Captain Norris, who is in charge of the post. At the time Clark arrives in Manila, Dawson has run out of money and Rita throws him over. Clark takes a room adjoining hers at the hotel, and, seeing that he has plenty of money, she makes his acquaintance. They begin going out together to the gates, and Rita falls half in love with him. Finally the day for Clark's return to the post arrives. As a ruse to get Rita to reform he tells her of his little hut near the post, and asks her to go back with him. Rita accepts and they leave together. Arrived back at the post, Clark takes her to the hut and tells her that he brought her there simply to give her a chance to reform. Realizing the trick he has played upon her Rita hurries back to catch the boat, but it is already putting back to Manila. She returns to the hut to find that Clark has gone to the hotel to live and left the hut to her. The officers' wives at the post shun her, but Clark has Sister Marie, from the convent nearby, go to her and help hold her firm in her determination to stay. An epidemic breaks out in the village and Marie tells Rita that she is needed to assist in the care of the natives. As Rita kneels beside a sick native a vision of the café in Manila appears. Unable to stand the filth and squalor any longer she runs to the telegraph office and wires Dawson to come and get her. Clark gets a message that Amy, who has been in the States, is coming on the next steamer. The boat arrives and both Dawson and Amy are on board. Dawson inquires the way to Rita's cabin and tells Rita to hurry so they can catch the boat back. But by this time she realizes she loves Clark, and she tells Dawson this, adding that she believes Clark loves her and intends to ask her to marry him. Dawson leaves and reboards the boat. Clark and Amy come to the hut and tell Rita that they are to be married Sunday. Concealing her feelings, Rita wishes them happiness, and when they are gone begins hurriedly to pack to go with Dawson back to Manila. She gets to the landing in time to get the last boat for the ship, but cannot bring herself to leave. The officer in charge of the boat attempts to hurry her so they can row out to the ship. Through the village streets Rita sees Marie on her way back to the convent. All desire to leave the valley is abandoned and she goes to Marie and asks to be taken into the convent. Marie complies and the gates of the convent close upon them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
