Garbo Talks!
Old sailor Chris Christofferson eagerly awaits the arrival of his grown daughter Anna, whom he sent at five years old to live with relatives in Minnesota.

She falls in love with a young sailor rescued at sea by her father, but dreads to reveal to him the truth of her past. Both father and young man are deluded about her background, yet Anna cannot quite bring herself to allow them to remain deluded.

She is the daughter of "Chris Christopherson" (George Marion) who travels to visit her long absent father from her farm in St. Paul. When they are reunited, he takes her to…
