As briefly-described in a 1916 publication, this five-reel film is a "story of romance and adventure in Mexico. Lenore Ulrich is the Spanish girl who loves an American engineer." [3]

Two endings were prepared for the film—one happy and one tragic. [4] This was a first, and critics were asked to vote for which ending they preferred, but the vote ended in a tie. [5]
