- Tom Turner, teller in the village bank, is engaged to Ruth Dale, the doctor's daughter. A widow, Mrs. Will O'Wisp, seeks seclusion in the village. Tom meets the widow and is fascinated. Tom forsakes Ruth. The widow announces to Tom that she intends to return to the city. Tom breaks into a wild outburst and frightens her into a promise to remain. The widow immediately makes preparation for a quick departure. Tom rushes to the bungalow where the widow has been living only to find her gone. The widow back amid the bright lights takes up her old round of merriment with Phil Dome, an admirer. She meets Ruth, who is visiting relatives. Tom steals from his bank and follows the widow to the city. Tom's head is turned and he spends his stolen money in high life. Ruth has attracted the attention of Phil, the widow's admirer. The widow, jealous of Phil, lures Tom on in order to hurt Ruth. Detectives are on Tom's trail, and on the night he is giving a farewell dinner they locate him. Ruth learns of Tom's theft and tries to find him in order that she may warn him. At Tom's dinner the detectives arrest him, but he breaks away and flees. Ruth has found Tom's dinner party and, seeing the situation, turns away broken-hearted. She throws herself from a pier just as Tom, fleeing the officers, dashes toward her and dives after her. They are both drowned and washed up on the beach, where they are found by the widow walking along with her gallant Phil.—Moving Picture World synopsis
