Captain Fane, an English army officer stationed at Cairo, is in love with Lady Fiennis, who is treated most cruelly by her husband. Fane returns to England when he finds that she refuses to leave him. Five years later Fane's sister summons him to tell him that her son Frankie, who is only twenty-two years old, has decided to marry a widow many years his senior. She begs him to go to Cairo and save the boy from this woman. Fane makes the journey, and upon his arrival Frankie tells him of his love for Lady Fiennis, now known as Mrs. Fenton, and how years before she had been infatuated with an army officer. Her husband discovered this and out of insane jealousy cut her off without a cent when he died. Fane listens with unusual interest to the boy's story, and when he brings in Mrs. Fenton, sure enough it is the woman he had loved all these years. She falls into his arms and Frankie leaves, realizing that youth's paradise is still ahead of him.
