Tom Wren is the pampered son of a wealthy mother. The Wren fortunes are at a low ebb on account of the poor management of the widow and her son. It is the mother's fond wish to replenish the family fortune by a marriage between Tom and a wealthy young heiress. Tom apparently agrees with this plan, but is really in love with Agnes Kempler, a model. He has furnished a house in anticipation of his marriage with the model, and one day, while his mother is shopping in the store in which the model works, he sends the girl a note that everything is ready for their marriage and to be at the house at four that evening. The young couple are married secretly and start on their new life full of hope. Nearly all the fortune of the Wrens is invested in coal mines in West Virginia, and on the recommendation of an old family friend, Tom is sent to look after their interests. Tom meets John Ford, a mountaineer whom he formerly knew, and his daughter, Ella, Tom is trying to figure a road out which is unfamiliar to him, when Ella offers to accompany him and they set out in the machine. An accident happens and they are forced to remain out all night. Her father has grown anxious over her absence overnight with a man and sets out to find them. He locates them and tells Tom he will either have to marry the girl or be killed. He is forced to marry her. Soon afterwards he leaves for home. Time passes and Tom sets a note from his mountaineer wife that she is in the hospital with a baby. He goes to his mother's house and she greets him with the news that all their fortune is gone and he will have to marry the heiress in save them from ruin. He shows her the note he has just received and tells her it is impossible. Tom arrives at his home and Agnes notices his pocket is torn and insists on fixing it. In running her hand in the pocket to sew it she finds the note. She is horror-struck, but manages to keep him in ignorance of her knowledge. She goes to his mother's house to make herself known. While there, Ford, the father of Ella, arrives, and Agnes, in the next room, hears him tell of the baby. She renounces her claims as a wife in favor of the wife and baby. Time passes and Agnes has become an outcast. Ella has died and her child is left to comfort her husband. He has vainly tried to find Agnes.

A society woman present, representative of an uplift league, takes her to the league, telling the judge she would like to try and reform her. In the room she meets Tom's mother, who is also a member of the society. Mrs. Wren overrides the girl's objections and takes her home with her.
