- Elsie Graves is the young wife of the stern, cruel Justus Graves. Graves shows no affection to anyone excepting his little daughter, Sarita. As Graves is continually away on business trips, Elsie, left alone, falls in love with Robert Amory, a widower, who with his young son, Ned, lives next door. Returning home unexpectedly, Graves finds Elsie in Amory's arms. He shoots Amory and is about to shoot his wife when he hears his daughter crying. He takes his daughter and flees to a little Mexican settlement. Amory recovers and he and Elsie marry. Years later Sarita, grown into a beautiful young woman, is the queen of Graves' estate in Mexico. Elsie has died in the meantime, leaving Ned, a fine young man, who secures a diplomatic position in Mexico City. He starts for that city, misses a train in a little Mexican settlement, is set upon and robbed and thrown into jail. Graves happens to discover Ned's identity and still filled with hatred for the man who stole his wife, has the local politico sentence Ned to a year's hard labor, and sell his services to Graves. Graves takes Ned home and tries to break him, body and soul. Ned is beaten and whipped and forced to do the most menial labor around the house. This arouses Sarita's pity and then her love. She effects Ned's escape and flees to the United States with him. The father pursues, only to find the couple married and safe across the Rio Grande. The father begs for the daughter to return to him, but she refuses, and the lovers go away together, leaving the old man to realize the terrible cost of his hatred.—Moving Picture World synopsis
