To Americans the point is not plain
by deickemeyer2015-01-30

"A daughter of a poor laborer falls in love with the son of a wealthy manufacturer son, which drives her father to drink. He undertakes to kill his daughter and her lover, but is prevented by another sister, who is seriously hurt in the attempt. Then the young man asks for the hand of the daughter in marriage, and all ends well. A film like this may be interesting to foreign audiences, but to Americans the point is not plain. Photography, as usual with the Gaumont films. is good and the action, so far as possible, is good, but aside from these two features the picture carries little of interest..."
