In this romantic melodrama, a young woman travels to the ends of the earth to be with the newspaper correspondent she loves. She trails him to Mexico, but once there, he leaves her and heads to China on a new assignment. The woman is heartbroken and so heads for Europe where she embarks upon a series of meaningless affairs. Eventually she tires of roaming and goes home to reluctantly marry the man who has loved her since childhood. Fortunately, just before she marries, the reporter finally reappears and proposes. Unfortunately, when he learns that she has had many affairs he spurns her and the woman begins planning to kill herself. In the end, her reporter forgives her and happiness ensues. The story is based on a novel by Ursula Parrott (in the book, the woman does kill herself, by the way).
