Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.

Mail for translation. A magyar játékfilm kezdeteiröl úgyszólván mindent tudunk, csupán maguk a szalagok hiányoznak: utóbb fogkefét csináltak belölük, elégtek, vízbefúltak (mint a kolozsvári gyár pincé- jében), elkallódtak tán kéttucatnyi mü kivételével. Ezért aztán nagy meglepetés, ha valahonnét újabb darab kerül elö. A bolognai filmarchívum jószemü, az egyetemes filmtörténetben is remekül eligazodó olasz szakemberei Londonban bukkantak rá Deésy Alfréd munkájára, az Aphrodité címü filmre, egy itáliai némafilmszemle anyagának válogatása közben.
