Becoming pregnant after an affair with her boss's son, Philip Montrose, Grace visits abortionist Dr. Robert Lynn. When the doctor's wife discovers that Grace is her own child whom she had left with her sister-in-law years earlier, Mrs. Lynn takes the girl to Mr. Montrose to expose the perfidy of his son. His father compels Philip to marry Grace, but their marriage is an unhappy one and in a fit of rage one day Philip strikes his wife. Thinking that he has killed her, he flees, but Grace physically recovers although her mind remains deranged. All efforts to restore her sanity are to no avail until the repentant husband returns and takes her in his arms. Meanwhile, Dr. Lynn takes poison after the nature of his practice is exposed.
