Full plot (contains spoilers)
Maria Hartung is married and loves her husband and child with all her heart. A lover of classical music, she one day invites the gifted pianist van der Straaten to her home to give her a small private concert. When Maria’s husband comes home, he completely misunderstands the situation and assumes that his wife is being unfaithful to him. Enraged, her high-and-mighty husband throws her out of the house. Left to fend for herself, Maria follows van der Straaten on a concert tour to America. But the pianist abandons her there, so Maria has to try to keep herself afloat through menial work. Eventually, she finds a job at the amusement park on Coney Island. Maria meets a certain Pablo Fuentes, with whom she eventually returns to Europe. Fuentes turns out to be quite a scoundrel and tries to blackmail Maria’s husband in Germany with what he knows about her. Maria then kills the villain. Afterward, she returns to her husband, takes poison, and dies at his feet.
