A Chinese restaurant owner's mistress who is being kept as a prisoner flees, and boards a merchant ship bound to Alaska. The ship's captain falls in love with her. A missionary woman comes aboard and befriends her.
Although horribly cut by censors, this is an interesting film on the benefits and dangers of being a sexual object. The film is also prophetic regarding showbusiness Christianity. Today's audiences may find chubby West an unsuitable choice for the title role, but she wrote it, and so was entitled to it. Somehow. TV Guide has a good review.
