Marie is driven out of her father’s house when he learns that his daughter is expecting an illegitimate child by George, a shady seducer. Alone, she gives birth to the child and is found by Thomas, a miner, who takes her and the child in. When he marries her, their happiness seems complete, but George learns of the marriage and courts Marie again. When George harasses her at home and even demands his son back, Thomas confronts him in the mine tunnel. George is killed in an explosion, and Thomas is trapped underground along with Marie, who has gone looking for him. After a few days, no one believes the two will be brought out alive.
