Village blacksmith Dave is desperately in love with her but she doesn't welcome his attentions. One fateful day city chap Ned Tolliver arrives in the village on a hunting trip and the Browns take him in as a boarder. Lottie falls in love with the newcomer and in answer to Dave's frenzied remonstrance, she breaks with him entirely. Things run along the even tenor of their way until one day Ned receives a letter from a friend in the city, reproaching him for deserting his friends and urging him to return. By this time he has tired of his country girl; leaving a note of farewell for her he sneaks out under cover of night. The shock overwhelms the delicate Lottie, who never recovers from the blow. She fades away, and in the delirium of her illness she constantly calls for her recalcitrant lover. Dave, whose devotion nothing can kill, determines to bring the city man to her side, hoping this will save her. He goes to the city after him and forces him to return, but they arrive too late. Bidding Tolliver return whence he came and be thankful that he is permitted to do so with a whole skin, Dave sadly returns to the bedside of the woman he had loved, who cold in death, he could claim as his own at last, with no one to dispute his right.
