In a largely successful effort to demonstrate her versatility, Mary Pickford plays a dual role in Stella Maris. As Stella Maris, Pickford is a crippled young heiress who has been raised in luxurious isolation. As Unity Blake, Pickford is a homely maidservant, subject to ill treatment from her alcoholic employer, Louise Risca (Camille Ankewich) Both Stella and Unity fall in love with Risca's long-suffering husband John (Conway Tearle).

The shock of "America's Sweetheart" committing murder and then taking her own life was softened by showing the "pretty" Pickford--i.e., Stella Maris--enjoying a happy ending, even unto regaining the use of her legs. Stella Maris was adapted by Frances Marion from a novel by Francis J. Locke; the story was remade in 1925, with Mary Philbin in the dual lead. Hal Erickson, Rovi
