Susan, a young Swedish-American woman, is forced into an arranged marriage with a man she despises. Running away from home to avoid the union, she ends up in the arms of Rodney, an engineer. The two consummate their genuine love, but through an unfortunate set of circumstances. Susan engages a brief dalliance with a carnival owner. When Rodney finds out about the affair, he banishes Susan from his life -- but not his heart. Unable to cope with his sorrow and disappointment, Rodney gives up engineering and become a drunken vagabond. Susan goes on to lead a profitable existence as the consort of wealthy men. But her love for Rodney remains undimmed. Over the course of many years and through many changes in fortune, Susan pursues Rodney across the globe, determined to win his forgiveness. [More]
