This second film version of Michael Morton's play The Yellow Ticket was among the final screen appearances of stage favorite Fannie Ward). The story is set in pre-Revolution Russia, where Jewess Anna Mirrel (Ward) bears the brunt of the Czar's oppression of her people. Desperately seeking a passport so that she may escape to America, Anna is callously issued a "yellow ticket," falsely designating her as a prostitute. She manages to overcome this government-imposed stigma with the aid of American journalist Julian Rolfe (Milton Sills). Yellow Ticket was memorably remade in 1931, with Elissa Landi and a very young Laurence Olivier in the leading roles.
