 The film is the story, an oft-told tale, of a "lotus blossom," a metaphor for an Asian woman who makes the ultimate sacrifice for the love of a Caucasian man; a variation based on the opera/play "Madame Butterfly",  moving the story to China.

 Considered a lost film for many decades, this 1985 restoration is stunning. The final minutes of the film have not survived, but have been implied here in intertitles based on writer Frances Marion’s scenario and by new footage of the Pacific Ocean taken with an original two-strip Technicolor camera.
