[edit] Plot

A lower class woman marries into a rich family. Her husband's mother hates her and after her lover accidentally dies and only her mother-in-law knows she is innocent, the latter blackmails her into disappearing into the night during a planned boat trip, leaving her husband and young son thinking she died. She then slowly sinks into depravity all over the world, only to be brought back to America under false assumptions by a "friend" who plans on blackmailing her family. After instinctively killing this man she falls into shock and doens't remember anything. The man who ends up defending her in court turns out to be her long-lost son.
