The Mother of His Children Synopsis
When Princess Yve comes to Paris, attended by her faithful servant Hadji, she meets sculptor Richard Arnold and the two fall in love. This drives Count Tolstoff, who also is in love with the princess, into a jealous rage. Attempting to gain revenge by destroying Richard's prize-winning statues, Tolstoff breaks into his studio but is followed by Hadji. In the ensuing scuffle, the count is killed and Richard is arrested for the crime. When the princess discovers that Richard is married, it looks as if the sculptor will lose both his love and his freedom, until the servant confesses to the crime and Richard is notified that his wife has died while on an ocean voyage. Thus freed of his bonds, the sculptor marries the princess, who then becomes the mother of his children.

When his fiancée commits suicide after being used by an American artist, a Japanese art dealer seeks to get vengeance by seducing the artist's wife.
"The Mother of His Children" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Soul of Kura San" offers its own unique cult appeal.
