Mary is injured by an explosion at the mine, and Hal writes her parents to come. In the meanwhile, he has met a dance hall girl, Cally, and as the accident has blinded his wife, he makes love to "the woman who don't care" in her presence. Doctor Scott performs an operation on Mary's eyes and after removing the bandages, lifts the shade, but the first thing the wife's eyes fall upon is her husband with Cally in his arms. It is the last straw, for months she has been made to realize how thoroughly worthless a man she has married in preference to the nobler John. Cally and Hal elope, but the horse runs away, instantly killing the woman, and Hal soon follows her. However, Mary is not left alone, for her parents arrive and with them is John, who has come to offer what aid is in his power, and to later take his place beside the woman he loves and who now loves him.
