action

The plot is largely based on the Danish original: Edith von Felsen is an orphan girl from a good family. One day she is invited to London by her aunt. On her trip there, she meets a lady who is obviously beginning to be very interested in her. Little does Edith know that this woman is just listening to her and wanting to know everything about her living conditions, because she belongs to a British girl trafficking ring. Allegedly, her aunt in London cannot pick up Edith, and so it is that ominous travel acquaintance that Edith immediately takes under her wing with a few accomplices when she arrives on English soil.

You drive together into a house that turns out to be a brothel. Without hesitation, Edith is asked to work as a prostitute. When she refuses, she is mistreated and locked up. Edith's only chance of rescue is the engineer Faith, who met the young Dane on the crossing to England and exchanged addresses with her. When he wants to visit her, he cannot find Edith at the given address and Edith's aunt doesn't know where the girl is either. Faith then contacts the London detective Kenny, and the two of them investigate to find out where the girl is. Kenny, Faith and the police finally track down the girl traffickers and are able to free Edith from their clutches.
