Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
The Philippine revolution became the setting for yet another trivial Theda Bara potboiler in which the famous vamp played an innocent young girl saving her lover (Albert Roscoe) from a nasty planter (G. Raymond Nye. An earthquake hit Southern California in the middle of filming, creating rather more excitement offscreen than on. Like its predecessor, The Soul of a Buddha, this inexpensively mounted melodrama was yet another example of the Fox company's waning interest in the once so potent vamp.
