Plot summary

George Reynolds, an American, fights a duel in South America with the Spaniard Valdez over the affections of Cora, a Spanish adventuress, and later brings her back to the United States, where she becomes involved with his friend Caryl Haskill. During a struggle, Cora is accidentally shot and George is convicted, serving five years in prison while she taunts him during his forced labor. After his release, Cora opens a gambling house in New York, where Caryl becomes addicted, loses everything, and takes his own life.
