Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] Thelma Miller (Dalton) becomes the governess in the Florida home of Goddard Townsend (Lane) and is met, loved, betrayed, and deserted by Norris Townsend (Langford), the uncle of the children. Learning that there is to be a child, Norris expects to marry Thelma, but the interference of his father and sister persuade him to approach Thelma with an offer to buy her off. She forces the marriage at the point of a gun and then leaves Florida. Five years later the repentant Norris ends a five-year search when he finds the mother and child in a western town. For the sake of her son Thelma agrees to return to the Florida home, but only as the mother of the child. After a near accident involves the son, Thelma and Norris are reunited in the tenderness of their first love.
