Philip is an English man who lost both his parents when he was a child and was raised by his benevolent cousin. The latter, while living abroad, falls in love with Rachel, a young widow, and marries her. His health deteriorates and he eventually dies. His letters to Philip threw suspicion on Rachel. She comes to visit Philip and the latter, who had vowed to avenge his cousin, gradually begins to have second thoughts on his feelings about her.
Contrived melodrama which becomes exceedingly silly as the plot unfolds. The central theme is the interference of love on suspicion, and vice-versa. There is a bit of psychological insight in making Philip hasteful to condemn and then equally hasteful to trust. Unfortunately, there are very implausible turns taken by the plot which dim the interest considerably. All in all, a watchable yet minor film.
