Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? “Down to Gehenna or up to the throne, he travels the fastest who travels alone.” But Irma Eberhard did not travel alone. With her on the barren road she trod were a ghostly company, the memory of her mother on which she swore to resist the temptations of court life, the bleeding heart of her lover. And so she never reached the heights. But neither was she alone when the great shame touched her, and in agony of soul she came close to the gates of hell. For even here the love of a strong man went before her.
