Desc: Kærlighedens almagt: Lucille Brown, an actress, accepts the attentions and professed love of Lord Morton. Her happiness in their association is soon dissipated, when he brusquely leaves her at the birth of their child. The unfortunate girl finds that she is unable to give the baby proper care, and at the same time continue her work at the theater. She places the boy in the care of a Mrs. Smith. Lucille then decides to go to America. In New York she has the good fortune to apply for work at a theater where the leading lady has just been taken ill. After a short rehearsal, in which Lucille convinces the manager of her ability, she is permitted to appear as "Camille." Her first performance is a huge success, and she is engaged permanently to play the part. Meanwhile, at Mrs. Smith's, Lucille's son dies, but it la decided not to inform her of this, but to substitute Mrs. Smith's son in his stead. By doing this Mrs. Smith and her mother continue to receive money from Lucille for her child's care. As the years pass Lucille's desire to see her son becomes so strong that she resolves to go to England to see him. On the trip she renews an acquaintance with a Mr. Morrison, a rich Englishman. Arriving at Mrs. Smith's, Lucille finds that "Willy," her supposed son, has grown to be a very ill-mannered and insolent boy, and that the Smiths are unable to control him. Sad and depressed, she leaves for London. In London Mr. Morrison gives a brilliant flower fete in her honor, and asks her to be his wife. Lucille, not knowing what to do, consents to marry him, but she remains silent on the subject of her affair with Lord Morton. Time passes, and their daughter, a child of about nine years, finds them closely together. During this time "Willy," the son, has become very vicious, and his companions are of the lowest sort. He manages to find out that Lucille has been sending money to Mrs. Smith for his support. Being in trouble with the police, he determines to put this knowledge to his advantage. Lucille receives a letter from him demanding money. She goes to a disreputable resort, which he has named as a meeting place. Here he taunts her with the fact that she is his mother. She begs and implores him to leave the place and to lead a different life. He takes her jewels and money, but will not consent to reform. Time and time again, she is forced to meet and to give him money. Her husband becomes suspicious and employs a detective to follow her. In despair Lucille visits Mrs. Smith's seeking advice and help. Arriving there, she finds that the police are again in search of "Willy." As she leaves, the detective who overheard her conversation with Mrs. Smith, appears and compels Mrs. Smith to confess that "Willy" is not Lucille's, but her own son. Hounded by the police, "Willy" goes to Lucille in search of refuge. He breaks into the room where she sits at the bedside of her little daughter. During the argument between Lucille and "Willy," the girl runs to her father and tells him of the horrid man who is with her mother. Morrison seizes a revolver and rushes into Lucille's room. He and "Willy" fight and "Willy" is mortally wounded. The husband, believing he has killed his wife's lover, is dumbfounded when the excited woman exclaims, "It was my son." At this moment the detective brings in Mrs. Smith, who breaks away from him, throws herself at "Willy's" side, crying, "No, it was my son."
