Plot
During the First World War Captain Alan Trent - on
leave in England with his fiance Kitty Vane - is
suddenly recalled to the front, before having been able to
get a marriage license. Alan and Kitty spend a night of
love at a country inn "without benefit of clergy" and he
sets off.
At the front things go badly for Alan, who is blinded and
is captured by the Germans. He is reported dead, and his
friend, Captain Gerald Shannon, discreetly woos Kitty,
seeking to soothe her grief with his gentle love.
After the war, however, Gerald discovers that Alan is
still alive, in a remote corner of England, writing
children's stories for a living. Loyal to his former
comrade in arms, Gerald informs Kitty of Alan's
reappearance. She goes to him, and Alan conceals his
blindness and tells Kitty that he no longer cares for her.
She sees through his deception, however, and they are
reunited.
