The wife of Richard Stonn was a woman who seemed to think that they were born with luck against them. Her husband had been for some time engaged in nefarious practices, till at last finding the police were hot on his track, he determined to abandon his wife and flee from the country. Left penniless, the unfortunate woman obtains employment at the home of a chemist abroad to take charge of his little girl, a child of some ten years of age. Madam Stonn is exceptionally talented, and in the course of years becomes a capable assistant to the chemist, who has not the faintest idea that her husband is still alive. Eight years pass and the little girl has grown into a beautiful woman, whilst her friend and teacher has grown to secretly love the man who has proved so good a friend. One day, the girl confides in her friend the fact that she has fallen in love with a man whom she met whilst out for a walk, and promises to introduce him to her on the morrow. On the following day an explosion takes place in the chemist's laboratory, and the eyes of the assistant. Madam Stonn, are injured by the flames. When, later, the elder woman is brought face to face with her pupil's sweetheart, she seems, with her injured eyes, to recognize dimly the man's features. She listens to his voice, and is at last convinced that the suitor is none other than the man who basely deserted her so many years ago. Turning on the scoundrel, she declares her intention of exposing him unless he immediately leaves the country. Stonn flings himself onto his horse, which maddened by the spurring of its rider, runs away. Rider and steed approach a precipice, and, unable to stay their mad flight, are dashed to death on the rocks below. Every cloud his its silver lining, and through the strenuous efforts made by the chemist and his medical friends, Madam Stonn recovers the use of her eyes, and when the curtain rings down we are left with the conviction that the scientist will be as good a husband in the future as he has been a friend in the past.
