- A young man voyages to Colonial America after having killed his lover's husband in a duel. A century later the unfortunate affair casts a shadow upon a romance between two of the descendants.
- Years ago, during the Colonial days, John Randolph had neglected his wife, Georgia. She loved him with all her heart, but his forgetfulness soon killed the spark of love that had remained. Richard Brinsmore, a handsome chap, cared for Georgia more than he could tell, and Georgia was learning rapidly to care for him. One evening, Georgia finds her husband making love to another woman; it is then that she decides to leave her husband, to elope with the handsome Richard. Randolph becomes furious when he discovers that his wife had left him and goes in search of her, finding the couple near an old inn. Brinsmore and Randolph settle differences with a duel and Brinsmore is the victor. When Georgia discovers Brinsmore has taken the life of her husband, she tells him to go, never to return, and so it is that the handsome Richard sails for England, leaving Georgia to take care of their child. Abroad Brinsmore marries, and Georgia suffers a broken heart. One hundred years later, a young chap with a college education, falls desperately in love with a sweet co-ed by the name of Georgia Porter. Georgia's father had plenty of money, while the youth had barely enough to live on. Stephen Mitchell becomes the college man's rival. The college man determines to elope with Georgia and she agrees. Her father becomes furious, as young Mitchell had just loaned him $50,000 with which to pay a debt, and he had promised Mitchell the hand of his daughter. There is a wild automobile ride in which father and suitor overtake Georgia and her lover. Mitchell strikes at the college man and in self-defense Georgia's sweetheart deals the death blow. He is tried for murder and finally acquitted. Some time later, a masque ball is given and Georgia determines to wear the costume of her grandmother. Her engagement is to be announced at this social affair. With her sweetheart by her side, they resurrect the old gowns and trinkets. Then it happens; Georgia finds a note in her grandmother's trunk, written years and years ago by a Richard Brinsmore, stating, "that his heart was broken, but that she had his child." The man Georgia was to be married to had the same name; he was a direct descendant of the man who had so terribly wronged Georgia's grandmother, and she refused to marry him. The young college man, Richard Brinsmore, is heartbroken. On his way home he meets with an automobile accident, bringing about the termination of a love story that had lived through generations.—Moving Picture World synopsis
