A Japanese girl falls in love with an Englishman who soon afterward departs for the war against Germany in Europe. She endures for four years, awaiting his return.
Fleeing a failed love affair, an Englishman arrives in Japan where he falls in love with a beautiful wooden statue which seemingly comes to life when the sculptor's runaway daughter changes places with it. When war breaks out in England, the hero is torn between love and duty.—Dominic Druce
