Griffith set in late 18th century France, before and during the French Revolution. This was the last Griffith film to feature Lillian and Dorothy Gish, and is often considered Griffith's last major commercial success, after boxoffice hits such as Birth of a Nation, Intolerance, and Broken Blossoms. Like his earlier films, Griffith used historical events to comment on contemporary events, in this case the French Revolution and the rise of Bolshevism. The film is about class conflict and a plea for inter-class understanding and against destructive hatred. At one point in front of the Committee of Public Safety a main character pleas, "Yes I am an aristocrat, but a friend of the people." The film is a remake of the lost Theda Bara film The Two Orphans (1915).

Lustful aristocrat de Praille has virginal Henriette abducted and brought to his estate, leaving Louise helpless in the big city. An honorable aristocrat (Schildkraut) helps Henriette escape from de Praille. Scoundrel Mother Frochard forces Louise to beg in the streets. Unable to find Louise, Henriette gives shelter to admirable politician Danton after he’s attacked, and she also runs afoul of radical revolutionary Robespierre, who eventually sends her, and her lover, Chevalier de Vaudrey, to the guillotine. Background As mentioned, The Two Orphans, the title of the play upon which the movie is based, had been filmed before in the silent era. At least twice by 1920. The play had been a staple of the actress Kate Claxton, who owned the rights to the play and who had performed it hundreds of times since the 1870s. Griffith in securing the film rights to make his movie had to wrangle with Miss Claxton who for unknown reasons seems to have been reluctant to allow the story filmed a third time. When Griffith completed his film for release, a rival German version of the story had been made(Claxton owned foreign film rights as well) and was preparing to be released in the US at the same time as Griffith's version. Griffith bought out the US distribution rights to the German version so it could not conflict with the earning potential of his own film.
