Synopsis in German
Eine Frau der Oberschicht leiht sich lieber von einem reichen Japaner 10'000 Dollars aus, als dass sie ihrem Mann gesteht, dass sie das für das Rote Kreuz bestimmte Geld verloren hat. Als sie sich weigert, sich ihrem Kreditgeber hinzugeben, brandmarkt er sie mit einem Stempel zum Zeichen, dass sie ihm gehöre. (Katalog Locarno 2001) - Marcel L'Herbier verfilmte das gleiche Thema in Frankreich 1937 wiederum mit Sessue Hayakawa.

- Der Stoff erlebte verschiedene Remakes, so in den USA 1923 von George Fitzmaurice und 1931 von George Abbott, in Frankreich von Marcel L'Herbier, in Italien 1917 von Alfredo de Antoni (Malia).
