Plot

Lady Adrienne Carlyle leaves Mumbai, where her tyrannical husband, lord Leslie Carlyle, is the governor, heading off to England. On board, Lady Adrienne meets Andrew Fabian, who studies theology to be a priest. Andrew persuades Adrienne to join his pilgrimage to the sacred land. Soon they fall in love, but Adrienne has to return to her husband when she learns about his weakened health. Later on, in England, Adrienne and Leslie meet with Andrew. Suspect Leslie hates Adrienne and Andrew and wants them to confess their love for each other. Shortly thereafter, Lord Carlyle suddenly dies, so Adrienne and Andrew may finally unite.
