Tragödie Synopsis

Countess Maria (Henny Porten), a world famous stage performer, is blackmailed by a former lover, a frivolous stage poet (Robert Scholz). The ex-lover threatens to publish former love letters. When she visits the man to claim the letters, a wild bacchanal is going on at the house, which compromises the countess. Her husband, Count Tamar (Walter Janssen) divorces her and dumps their child (Annemarie Winkler), accorded to him, in a convent. Maria's reputation is lost, so she is refused any stage engagement. Physically and mentally broken, she collapses. Just when a friend tells her where her child is located, she dies without seeing her child again.
