Synopsis
In a squalid mining town in West Virginia, James Herron, a consumptive, lives with his little daughter Fay, who has been blind since birth, but has a wonderful imagination. In Fay's mind, the secret cavern where she plays with hunchback "Crip" Halloran is a fairyland and her disfigured playmate is Prince Charming. One day John Rockwell, the son of a rich mine owner, comes to look after his property. By chance he meets Fay and becomes enchanted with her charm and idealism. He is admitted to the magic kingdom and gradually dethrones Crip, much to the hunchback's distress. In love and with pity for Fay's misfortune, John arranges for an operation to restore her sight. Her eyes now opened to the harsh reality that she had idealized, Fay shrinks from the misshappen Crip. Brokenhearted, the hunchback takes his life in the cavern, and when Fay and John visit their old haunt, they discover his body.
