The mother, believing the child has drowned, goes to a home for friendless pregnant young women and becomes its matron. Later, she returns to the home of her son only to find that he has been taught to promise vengeance upon her for bringing him into the world nameless. A mob forms intending to chase her from the town. However, she meets Martin and forces him to publicly admit the truth that she is innocent, whereupon she and the son are admitted to respectability. A reunion between the three follows.
