Buried away in this morose melodrama are fragments that might interest students of drug literature, New Woman literature, Chinatown literature, and early-20th-century debates about the influence of heredity, will-power, luck and grace in life. An impressively brutal prelude sets the premise. The just-born female offspring of a gambling-addicted father and an opium-addicted mother is given away and surreptitiously foisted on a wealthy woman who sends the girl, named Rhoda, to a convent. But what's bred in the bone comes out in the flesh. When Rhoda, 20, leaves the convent she soon begins her descent: flirtation, dancing, cigarettes, drinks, automobiles all lead up to the two passions of her parents: gambling and opium. The cards are good to her, the pipe is not. She marries Roger, a young medical student, but he does not know how to keep her both safe and stimulated. She eventually winds up moving to Chinatown where she lives in some comfort at a gambling & smoking den with two companions -- Chong, an attendant, and Foo-Gum, her drug supplier and secretary. These two are depicted with a sympathy uncommon for the period. Rhoda wastes away but, at one point, realizing she has a choice about whether to live or die, she summons all her will-power, clutches a talisman and sends forth a psychic call for help. It is heard by a young doctor who, after resisting what seems to him an embarrassingly irrational impulse, ventures into Chinatown and rescues the comatose woman. He then brings her to his sanitarium and cures her. The doctor turns out to be the husband she had abandoned. They are reunited, this time on a more secure foundation of mutual honesty and understanding.
