King warns his wife against her questionable associates but she pays no attention to him. He becomes the head of a large factory employing many hands. Hammond, his foreman, is dishonest and mean to the help, who hate him. Morden, another foreman in the factory, is honest and trustworthy. He has adopted David Strong, who is employed in the factory, and later takes Esther, his brother's daughter, into his home. The girl has been used to wealth, but accustoms herself to her surroundings and also goes to work in the factory. King, unable to stand his wife's actions any longer, settles a good sum on her and she leaves for England to secure a divorce. The ship she sails on is wrecked and she loses her life. A disturbance arises in the factory and Esther writes a letter to King, the letter being suppressed by Hammond. King's attentions are directed to Hammond, however, and he also meets Esther and falls in love with her. Hammond bribes one of the workmen to fire the factory, but Esther overhears the plot and warns King. King then calls all of the workmen in, reinstates them in their former places, and with Esther's consent introduces her to them as his affianced wife.
