Plot summary
Paul Bergot is a meek soldier in the Belgian army during World War I. Letters arrive from Mary Brown, a girl in America he has never met, and she sends a photograph of herself with her words. The distance does not stop Paul from becoming infatuated with her. When the fighting ends he travels to the United States and takes a job as the assistant to Zandow the Great, a theatrical strong man. Traveling with the act, Paul asks the women he meets whether one of them is Mary Brown. She lives somewhere in the country, and she is blind.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Before The Strong Man could be shown in Kansas, the Kansas Board of Review ordered two scenes cut: one of a girl sitting in a man's lap in reel 3, and one of "promiscuous kissing" in reel 7. The film still could not be exhibited there without those eliminations.
