The Red Kimono is a story about the white slave trade and supposedly the true story of Gabrielle Darley. Gabrielle is seeing a boyfriend, her brother rats her out to Pops, but he thinks it's all right cause if she gets married to him he won't have to feed her. Blinded by love she gets dumped by her boyfriend at a brothel in New Orleans, she manages to get away from the saucy Madame, and travels across the country in search of him. She finds him buying a wedding dress for his new sweetie, and shoots him dead. Finding nowhere to go she returns to New Orleans but is saved from going back to the brothel by getting hit by a car. Eventually she is re-united by her true love, a chauffeur to Mrs. Fontaine a 'high society' broad.
Mrs. Wallace Reid did this film to follow on on a previous film called 'Human Wreckage'. This film was also supposed to be set in pre-WW1 days but clearly has a 20's look and feel to it.
