Directed by Robert Vernay

Drama

Film Synopsis

An English governor in India discovers that his wife has been unfaithful to him.  He offers her two options.  Either he has her lover charged with embezzlement, which will surely be the ruin of him, or his wife must agree to spend her days as a prostitute in the grimmer precincts of a Moroccan port.  To save the man she loves, the woman chooses the second solution.
