Synopsis

Mary O'Brien, the daughter of an Irish gentleman, falls in love with young Ernest Randal, the son of an English baronet, while he is visiting the Irishman's home. When Mary's father learns that his daughter is pregnant, he insists upon a marriage, to which Mary reluctantly agrees for the sake of her unborn child. Immediately after the marriage, which she believes that her father has forced upon Ernest, Mary leaves home and secures employment in a cotton mill where she becomes involved in welfare work for the employees. Reading of his wife's accomplishments in the newspaper, Ernest goes to Mary and tries to persuade her to return to him, but she refuses. A despondent Earl goes to war and when news comes that he has been killed in battle, Mary realizes too late her love for him. The report of Ernest's death proves false, however, and the lovers are given a second chance to have a life together.
