Synopsis
Vera Blaine lives with her guardian, Hugh Conway, who is secretly in love with her, and his mother. Vera goes to the home of a South American novelist, Jose Dalmarez, with whom she is infatuated, and there writes an avowal of her love in a book, signing her name. Jose asks Vera to go back to South America with him. She consents, leaving a party to join him at home, where she presents her mother's ring to be used at the wedding. The idea of marriage makes him laugh, and Vera leaves him in disgust. Later, Vera marries Hugh, but fears discovery of her incriminating words in Jose's book. She goes to his home to get it, but a struggle ensues, and it appears that Vera has killed him, defending herself with a knife. Finally it is revealed, however, that he was killed after she left by the brother of a woman whom Jose had wronged.
