Synopsis
While in Europe, Chaddie Green, a society girl, discovers that she has been left penniless. She returns to the United States and meets Duncan MacKail, who is equally broke though he owns grainland in the West. Duncan and Chaddie are married and go west to homestead. Duncan hires Ollie, a Swedish caretaker, who frightens Chaddie. When business takes Duncan away, Chaddie goes to take care of Percy Woodhouse, an Englishman who has become ill at his place fifteen miles away. Her horse runs away, and she is forced to spend the night there. She sleeps under a wagon, but Duncan is nevertheless angry and jealous. Chaddie moves Percy to her house in order to nurse him back to health and to use his presence to restrain the violent Ollie. Duncan leaves in a fit of jealousy, but he soon returns with Olga, a servant, as a peace offering. Percy and Olga fall in love. Ollie hangs himself, leaving a note confessing to murderous instincts. Chaddie has a baby, and she and Duncan find happiness and prosperity in their prairie home.
