At a mountain resort, Kenneth Scott falls in love with Marie Beauchamp, an older woman who merely amuses herself with him. When she deserts him to open a roadhouse, he sadly leaves the mountains and, in the company of an old wandering poet named "Doc" Podden, travels to a little village in the woods. There he meets and soon gives his heart to Daphne Sawyer, the storekeeper's daughter. Daphne also is loved by Louis Bracchi, but Kenneth finally saves her from his forced attentions. In the end, Kenneth learns that his new love is the younger sister of Marie, the woman who abandoned him.
