Plot: Robert Gray, while away on a vacation, falls in love with Mignon Brett, a village girl. Recalled home by a telegram from his father, he puts a ring on her hand, and hurries to town. Robert finds his father on the brink of financial ruin and his mother's health rapidly failing. There is just one way out. William Stewart, a social climber of fabulous wealth, has offered to save Gray, the elder, provided a marriage can be arranged between his daughter, Alicia, and Robert. When the young man realizes that failure will mean his mother's death, he reluctantly consents. After that he is haunted by the spirit of Mignon. Deserted and alone, she has sickened and died. On the night of Robert's wedding she appears so vividly to him that he collapses and the ceremony never is completed. For a long time the young man lies in a coma. At last, his spirit goes to rejoin his dead love.—Moving Picture World synopsis
