Synopsis

The father of young Diana May wishes to marry her to British nobility although she is in love with Richard Cleeve, a sailor, and is pursued by Dr. Dimitrius, a scientist in search of the "elixir of youth." Dimitrius informs Diana that Richard is eloping with Lady Anne, and she believes the false accusation. Twenty years later, as an embittered spinster, she goes to Switzerland in answer to a scientist's advertisement for an experimental subject. Leaving indications of her suicide, she finds Dimitrius, who restores Diana's youth and beauty. Amid the social whirl of Europe, she meets Cleeve, now married, whom she spurns though he offers to desert his wife. Diana awakens to find she has only been dreaming. Cleeve returns, explaining he had received sudden orders for departure, now revoked, and that he was escorting Lady Anne to her new husband. The picture fades out on the wedding of Diana and Cleeve.
