- Rose Jorgensen, living in a squalid tenement house, hears that her husband is to be electrocuted for murder, and commits suicide, leaving two young daughters. One of the daughters, Rose, is adopted by Judge and Mrs. Keith and brought up in luxury. The other, Norma, is adopted by a neighbor and raised in the squalor of the tenements until she is engaged by Calistro, a charlatan hypnotist, to act as an hypnotic subject. Phil Mannering, a young society man, is an associate of Calistro, and through his influence Calistro is made a society fad. Norma is known as the "White Orchid." Rose, Norma's sister, has been raised in luxury and is in love with Dick Alden, a young millionaire. Calistro, at a parlor exhibition, is astonished at the resemblance between Rose and Norma. He goes to their former home in the tenement and there finds the letter which shows that the two girls are the daughters of a murderer. He confronts Rose with this letter and demands money. Rose, realizing that she cannot marry Dick with this stain on her name, renounces him and sails for Bermuda. Dick is taken with Norma's resemblance to Rose and finally, out of pity, offers to marry her. Calistro has also fallen in love with Norma and one day makes advances to her which arouse the jealousy of his wife and she kills him. Norma is taken to the home of Mrs. Mannering. Phil Mannering's aunt, and there Rose finds them when she returns from her voyage. Dick explains to Rose that he has always loved her and this is overheard by Norma. That night as Norma is about to retire, a hot coal from the grate in her room catches the flimsy material and the bed is soon in a blaze, who is awake, sees the smoke and rushes in, dragging the badly burned girl into safety. Norma, however, dies from the burns and Rose and Dick have the clouds removed from their sky of happiness.—Moving Picture World synopsis
