Synopsis

Dr. Allende has invested all of his own money as well as that of his daughter Angelina in the town of Anne's Bridge. When the town's factories fall idle, everything is lost and the doctor kills himself. Some unscrupulous real estate brokers attempt to steal the land from Angelina, and in the mix up, she is accused of shooting one of them and later is sentenced to a reformatory for three years. Upon her release, Angelina returns to Anne's Bridge where she is shunned as a jail bird. Driven by loneliness to advertise for summer boarders, Angelina receives only one response, from James Deane, a young New Yorker attracted by the trout streams on the Allende estate. Deane falls in love with Angelina and asks her to marry him, but she refuses because of her prison record, which she keeps a secret. Returning to New York, Deane learns the truth and proves that Angelina is innocent of the shooting charge. Then he returns to Anne's Bridge, and finds that he has removed the only barrier to their happiness.
