Synopsis

Born a farmer's daughter, Millie has longed for an education.

So she goes to the city where she becomes a victim of deep eyed villain, Mulberry Foxhill.

In a weak moment Millie consents to become his wife.

It is then that she encounters a strange woman who tells Millie that Mulberry is already married, and he is merely laying a trap for her.

Millie, realizing the peril of her position, returns to the farm.

But alas, Mulberry appears on the scene suddenly, and he proceeds to make life intolerable for the farmer's daughter.
