Guy Newall is the dreamy owner of a failing farm, unhappily married to Barbara Everest. Ivy Duke is the daughter of a neighboring farmer, who is cruel to his children. The two leads bond over a dog Miss Duke rescues, but has to give up. Newall loses his eyes -- indicated by playing the rest of the movie with his eyes shut -- and Miss Duke comes to work at his farm as a maid-of-all-work.
I found this movie sweet, but a bit title-heavy. It's a common failing of silent British adaptations of novels. Miss Duke is a handsome, strapping girl with a strong jaw. Miss Everest struck me as someone who would come to look like Marjorie Main.
The stars were newly married at the time of the production, although they had been collaborating professionally since 1919. Their marriage ended in 1929. They both died in 1937.
