Garbo impulsively marries British doctor and follows him to China where he fights a cholera epidemic. While he's occupied with science, she has an affair with a British diplomat. He finds out and drags her to the interior as a sort of punishment. She comes to her senses and becomes a nurse. She expresses her love for him at the very end, but it does not ring true. Garbo's thick Swedish accent hinders her acting, every sentence seems to be bathed in some kind of melodramatic over-expression. Nonetheless, if all she did was raise her face, look at the camera and crack a smile, it would all be worthwhile.
