Dorothy Raleigh falls in love with Northern gambler Forbes Stewart, but her Southern father, Colonel Raleigh, refuses to give his consent to their marriage. They elope, and soon Dorothy becomes pregnant. Forbes vows to reform, but is sent to prison for a year. Forbes' ex-girlfriend lies to Dorothy, telling her that Forbes is her husband.
