A young English aristocrat, Anthony, becomes secretly engaged to a woman, Eleanor, but instead she marries his brother. Anthony moves to the United States, and another woman, Nina, asks to go with him. He rejects her request. Pamela Short explains, 'After Nina sees Elinore stab herself, she threatens to accuse Anthony of murder unless he takes her, but still he refuses.' Anthony is found guilty of her death. However, the day after the verdict is pronounced, he is reported dead in his own prison cell. Years later, Anthony is found living in a secret room. While in jail, his mother gave him a potion which made him appear dead. Therefore, Nina gets tricked into confessing to the crime.[3]
