Valentino is a Brazilian scoundrel who woos pretty Marguerite Namara in the Deep South. They exchange amorous letters, but he refuses to marry her. Back in Brazil, he takes up with another woman. Later, he returns to America, where his old girlfriend is now married. He uses their love letters to blackmail her, not for money but for sex! One night she refuses his advances, leading to murder. However, not all is what it seems, leading to a twist ending. Only an edited 3-reel print survives of what was originally a six reeler... a decent romantic murder mystery.
