The subtle satire upon our modern tendency to embrace newly coined religions which underlies this story will not mar the tale for mere lovers of romance but will make it for those who see the humor in today’s sects and religious colonies.

To this combined Mecca and Luna Park comes the one woman. The two men contend for her favor and the one by sacrificing all to save her gains her love.
