The story

In a small rural village, impoverished Nanette Roland refuses to marry the villainous Buck McDougall until she is convinced that her long-absent fiancé, Raoul Challoner, is dead. Buck obtains false evidence of Challoner's death and Nanette sadly consents to be married, mainly for her bankrupt old father's sake. (Raoul had gone away months earlier on a hunting expedition and never returned.) At Nanette's wedding ceremony, Raoul suddenly appears alive at the church and his presence interrupts the proceedings.
