- While visiting his sweetheart, Antoine de Vallence, a French lieutenant, is ordered to report for duty at once. Marguerite Du Bois keeps two miniatures, one of Antoine in his uniform and the other of herself, which she places with a bundle of old love letters. Later she hears of De Vallence's death and, broken hearted, she fades away and dies. Two hundred years have elapsed. Vallery, a descendant, quarrels with his wife Marguerite. Vallery receives a message to come to his dying uncle at once. During his absence Marguerite realizes that she really loves her husband. Arriving at his uncle's house Vallery finds the old man dying. He is shown over the property to which he is to fall heir and looks with interest at the portraits of his ancestors. He is about to enter a room when the servant tells him it is haunted. Vallery laughs at this nonsense and enters. The room shows traces of having been a boudoir. Picking up two miniatures from a desk he finds them to be pictures of a young officer of the French army and the other a dainty little maid whose face seems strangely familiar to him. All at once the spirit of the lady appears. Startled beyond measure, the young fellow hurries from the room. The uncle dies. The young man returns to the haunted chamber and as the vision again appears he asks, "Who are you?" She bids him take off the top letter from the old package of love letters and he reads the news of the young officer's death. At once it occurs to him that the portrait is of himself as he was in a former lite. The vision points to the skies. He sees his present wife waiting for him to return. At last he understands and makes haste to return to his wife. She greets him with renewed love and that night before the fireplace he tells her the story of the miniatures and the love letters. As the picture fades they are clasped in each other's embrace.—Moving Picture World synopsis
