Nina turns in the wanted man, Carl Weldon, so she can save her sick mother with the reward money—but in vain, for her mother dies before Nina can return. Things get even worse when Weldon’s son, Victor, visits his father in prison and learns that he was wrongly convicted of murder. Distraught, Victor rages against the anonymous informant and is unable to prove his father’s innocence. Years pass, and when Nina is hired as a nurse at Victor Weldon’s children’s hospital, love blossoms between them. Nina is tormented by her dark secret, and with each passing day it becomes harder to tell Victor that she is responsible for his father’s imprisonment. But then new information about the murder case suddenly comes to light, and Nina gets the chance to save Carl Weldon and make amends for her mistake.
