Synopsis
David Gordon is in love and engaged to be married to Kate Nugent. But the sinister figure of Austen Hawke, Gordon's rival, threatens to eclipse the wedding and wreck Gordon's one chance of true happiness. Gordon will throw Austen over a cliff in a climbing excursion in the Scafell Pike area, but finally he will find all was a dream. A vintage love story and a tale of blackmail based on A.E.W. Mason’s book. The film was produced by Stoll Pictures, Britain's biggest studio of the silent era and features Milton Rosmer.
