Plot
As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] Joan (Rich), a woman of high ideals, from cliildhood has had to play second fiddle to her selfish, pampered half-sister. Joan expects marriage to bring happiness and it does for a time, but Nathalie (Garon), the sister, true to form, schemes to win Joan's husband Alan (Brook) and succeeds, and, not content with this, arranges a surprise meeting to gloat over her conquest. Symbolic of the conflict between husband, wife and sister, there is a terrific cyclone which brings to Joan a realization of the truth of the theme and she forgives Alan.
