Plot

An evil young woman named Judith Trine and her father are plotting to destroy Alan Law, because for many years her father hated Alan's father, and now they have transferred that hatred onto Alan himself. Judith's twin sister Rose (also played by Cleo Madison) is in love with Alan. As the serial progresses, Alan manages to survive a number of life-threatening events. Over time, Judith finds herself falling in love with Alan. On the day of their wedding in a chapel, Rose and Alan are struck by lightning. Rose is killed, and Alan is badly injured. Unbeknownst to Alan, Judith takes Rose's place and nurses him back to health.
