The action starts in the French prison on the Isle jof St. Noir, where a once noted physician is serving a ten-yeterm for taking the law into his own hands and putting to death a patient suffering an incurable disease. The physician escapes to the mainland and is preparing to get out of the country when he finds an old friend who has gone blind. Forfeiting his own desires, he stays with the friend and helps him to do his work. The 3tory builds to a startling climax when the physician is recognized by a prison official and once more sees the bare prison walls facing him. How he eventually wins a complete pardon and the heart of the girl who has stuck by him, is one of the most absorbing tales ever recorded by a camera.

The supporting cast includes such well known players as Ian Keith, Barbara Bedford, Arthur Edmund Carew, George Siegmann, Corliss Palmer, Charles Puffy and a host of others.
