The naive small town girl Marianne Madison is bored with her ordinary life. So she falls in love with the impostor Valentine Corliss when he comes to town. Corliss gained trust in the city. With a forged signature from Marianne's wealthy father, he cheated on the residents and then piled out of town with Marianne. Before that, he asks her if she wants to be his wife.
After the wedding night in a shabby hotel , Valentine leaves Marianne.
