He makes love to her, disguising himself as a tradesman. The marriage is arranged, unknown to Osaka, who betroths Shotoku to Yama, the daughter of Baron Kamuri. Shotoku protests, but his father forces him into the marriage. Shotoku sends O San to her people, telling her that he must go to America. However, she sees the announcement of the wedding, for Shotoku had told her after their marriage his real identity. She disguises herself as one of the entertainers at the wedding festivities and during a dance stabs Shotoku. She escapes, but is pursued and brought back to the dying Shotoku. He asks that they be left alone. He asks her forgiveness and dies in her arms. She then commits suicide, and they find her beside his body. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
