During a summer vacation, a city woman comes to the country to stay. During this period, the city woman seduces the local farmer and abets him to kill his wife (Janet Gaynor) in order to sell the farm and elope. The man who was bewildered had long forgotten the pure time he spent with his wife. He took his wife to the river to do harm, but he repented when he was about to kill her. The sad wife stepped on the train into the city, and the man arrived at the city after him. The city is really a fancy world, ah, the couple wandered around the street, in those little jokes, sweet adventures, they found the wonderful resonance of love …... The two who made up with each other returned to the countryside, only to encounter raging winds and waves on their way home. This film is the first work made by German director Mao Nao after he went to the United States.
