The World and the Woman

In "The World and the Woman" Jeanne Eagels plays Mary a prostitute (which is implied by her walking the streets and being hassled by policemen) who reluctantly takes a better position at a country lodge as a maid. In this woodland community she attends church and the path to Salvation becomes clear to her. Through Mary's faith the injured folk of the countryside are healed. However her old employer whose lustful advances she'd previously spurned still has designs on her.
