A young rape victim is sent away by her family.
Brooks is charming of course, but there really isn't anything else worthwhile in the entire movie. And it's about as much fun as you might expect from a movie about rape.

It's a perfectly okay movie (which is pretty good for a silent era drama), but unremarkable. The only thing Ebert's Great Movies essay has to say about it, apart from a lengthy plot synopsis, is that Louise Brooks is in it. And I guess that's supposed to be enough to make it a great movie. She's cool and all - very ahead of her time - but, man, if this is her best role, that is unfortunate.
