A young woman who has been seduced and abandoned is led to believe by her former in-laws that their son, whom they sent to an orphanage, is dead. She takes her vows and returns to her homeland after years of missionary work. She learns that her former lover has been killed in a duel and barely has time to see her dying son before he passes away.
