- Christabel Nuneham, wife of Philip Nuneham, a contractor for hydraulic power plants, because of her husband's absorption in business, feels that she is neglected and forgotten. She accepts the attentions of Rex Allen, a young lieutenant in the Guards. When Allen's regiment is called to Africa suddenly, he persuades Christabel to accompany him as far as Southampton to bid him farewell. After bidding Allen farewell Christabel meets with an accident near the scene where Sylvanus Rebbings, the celebrated evangelist, is holding a meeting. Rebbings assists Christabel to a chemist's, where her wounds are dressed, and later she proceeds to her home. Sylvanus Rebbings, the evangelist, and his daughter, Naomi, are greatly beloved by the people of Trentistown, but Rebbings is thoroughly disliked by the clergy because of his radical views and of his success in securing the largest congregation of the country. Phoebe Ransford, a poor shopgirl, an attendant at the meeting held by Rebbings, is wronged by Stout, the foreman of the factory where she works, and is later deserted by him, even as he deserted his family for her. She determines to end her life, but is prevented by Rebbings. Christabel is one day discovered in the arms of Allen by her husband, Philip, and he cast her off, retaining the custody of their daughter. Later Philip and Christabel are reunited by Rebbings, who convinces Philip that true happiness can only be secured through a strict observance of the Scriptures and all their teachings.—Moving Picture World synopsis
