A city woman vacationing in the countryside persuades a farmer to sell his land and drown his wife so they can leave together. He takes his unsuspecting wife onto the lake, but hesitation redirects the couple toward the city.

Tracking cameras, layered exposures, studio-built streets, fog, water, and rhythmic crowd movement transform emotion into space—George O'Brien and Janet Gaynor move from threat and fear toward renewed intimacy with minimal intertitles.
