Plot

Archibald Crocker, an American alcoholic, visits a geisha house in Japan where the scientist Dr. Anthony Ives Eckhart is staying to study Asian music. Dr. Eckhart discovers that Crocker has come to Asia to kill his wife Heloise in revenge for leaving him. After Dr. Eckhart leaves for Beijing and finds Heloise, they fall in love. After Crocker arrives, Dr. Eckhart convinces him to consider sparing Heloise and seeking a legal separation instead. However, an hour later he arrives at Eckhart and Heloise's hotel to kill her. Crocker breaks his leg after Eckhart pushes him down a flight of stairs, and he decides to kill himself. Archibald and Heloise marry afterwards.[2]
