John Talboys has been disinherited by his father because of a low marriage. When he finds this out he decides to leave for Australia and never return until he can give his wife the luxuries that she craves. When Helen reads the note that he leaves for her she is overjoyed, as this leaves her free. Helen has a notice put in the paper to the effect that she has died and under a new name she starts out for a husband. It so happens that she meets Sir Michael Audley, an old widower, and the old man is taken with her beauty and proposes. The marriage takes place, much to the disgust of Robert, Sir Michael's grown son. But in Australia John has struck it rich and comes back to England for his wife. At their former lodging he is told that his wife has died and is heartbroken. He meets Robert Audley and accepts an invitation to his home. When he sees Helen as Lady Audley he is astounded. She sends him a note naming an old well as a rendezvous. He goes and there she pushes him into the well, thinking that she has killed him. But a poacher has been looking and pulls him out. The poacher now tries to blackmail Helen and succeeds. But Robert discovers that John is not dead and goes to the inn to find him. The inn is kept by the poacher and when Helen finds that all the people who know of her crime are in the same house she sees her chance. In the night she goes to set fire to the house. The poacher is killed, but Robert succeeds in rescuing John and takes him to the manor. There Lady Audley sees him and the shock kills her.
