A sexy singer in a French music hall falls in love with a handsome, but married, aristocrat.

A young boy dreams of playing the French horn in the Children's Orchestra in a neighboring village.

Zoe Blundell, peeved at the seeming negligence of her husband Theodore, retaliates by spending most of her evenings away from home, usually in the company of men. Theodore, not sufficiently impressed with the truth of the old adage, "There is safety in number," takes issue with her, with the result that quarrel after quarrel occurs. Hon. Peter Mottram, an old friend of Theodore's, attempts to establish a reconciliation between them and almost succeeds, until Zoe's petulance overturns his plans, and a wider breach than even is the result. Finally they separate and Zoe goes to Italy, where she is followed by an old flame, Leonard Ferris, who seeks to bring about a divorce between Zoe and her husband. In the meantime Theodore has found that although experience seems to have proved that it is impossible to live with a woman, neither can he live without one, and he is discovered living in a flat with a pretty young widow, Mrs. Annerly. Several complications occur, involving Leonard Ferris and Ethel Pierpont, whose mother has been angling for Ferris as a son-in-law. Peter Mottram again steps in and this time succeeds in bringing about a reconciliation between the estranged pair. - Moving Picture World, September 25, 1920.

Miguel is the perfect coyote: dedicated, single-minded, his record unblemished. His home is the winding path of the migrant: the back alley gravel, the crumbled pavement, and last - the river. Despite this perfect record, Miguel is no stranger to death. His nickname, "El Maldito" hints of what we will soon see for ourselves, for Miguel seems haunted by the dead and dying. He comes upon them on desert roads; he hears their confessions, and takes part in their dying wishes. Miguel's house, much like the man himself, stands alone; yellowed photographs breathe the sigh of a life given over to a singular purpose - crossing his people to a new life. There are signs that this quiet struggle is soon to break. When a terrible wreck draws Miguel to the roadside, the order of his life comes to ruin, for Elena, the wreck's lone survivor, recognizes Miguel.
