Confronted by dire danger, the girl shoots him in self-defense. Later the show girl is placed on trial for murder and is freed. Harris, a man-about-town, becomes interested in Annabelle. He suggests that the girl return to the stage and capitalize the notoriety she has gained. Annabelle repulses the man. Determined to start life anew, the girl leaves for the country and makes her home with the Fosters, some distant relatives. The latter are ignorant of Annabelle's past. Jack, Mrs. Foster's son, falls in love with the girl. Because of her secret. Annabelle refuses to marry him. But the specter of her past rises to confront her when she meets Harris, who, by chance, steps off the train which stops for a few minutes at the little station. Although Harris had not intended to stay in the village, he changes his mind when he sees Annabelle. He again tries to induce her to return to the stage. When she refuses, the villain threatens to expose her. Terror-stricken. Annabelle writes a note of explanation to Mrs. Foster and runs away. Foiled, Harris secures revenge by telling Mrs. Foster of Annabelle's past. To his surprise, the good woman announces her intention of standing by the unfortunate girl. Mrs. Foster learns of Annabelle's flight. Heartbroken, the woman tells the story to Jack. The boy leaves for the city, vowing to return with the girl he loves. Jack searches for many days. Tired and hungry, he drops into a restaurant. The voice of the waitress causes him to raise his head. At the sight of Jack, Annabelle starts back in surprise. A moment later the boy has her in his arms, heedless of the people about him. Two hours later, Annabelle is on her way back to the country as Jack's bride.
