Coming back to his mother's home unexpectedly, he finds his mother, Mrs. Wellington, absent on a short trip. Randall meets Laura Doone, a young shepherdess of the nearby hills, and falls in love with her. Later, upon receipt of a letter from an old friend announcing that the ship on which the Countess was reported to have sailed, was lost at sea, Randall secretly marries the shepherdess, Laura Doone. His mother, who in the meantime arrives home, accompanied by a wealthy suitor, Carl Curtis, scorns the shepherd maid, and afraid to acknowledge he has married her, Randall permits her to be banished by his mother. The Countess suddenly appears, explaining that she missed the boat on which passage had been secured for her, and is rejoiced to rejoin her husband, Randall. Mrs. Wellington at once takes to the titled Countess, and Randall, and the latter take up their home at the mother's house. Subsequently the conduct of Carl and the Countess becomes so reprehensible that the mother orders the Countess from the house, and Randall goes with her. Years pass. The little shepherdess places her baby in a home and goes to work in a laundry where the owner makes honorable love to her, but she declines his offers. Later, Mrs. Wellington, oppressed by the loneliness of her life, adopts a baby boy. He grows up. Randall loses his wife, the Countess, and starts a search for his lost love, the shepherdess. Failing to find her he turns to his mother and is surprised to find her rearing a little boy. About this time Laura Doone, determined to see her child again, traces him through the home to Mrs. Wellington, appears on the scene and is rejoiced to find Randall there. There is a glad reunion, Mrs. Wellington being happy now in the possession of a reunited family. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
