- Irene Gardner, a blind girl, living in the mountains with her invalid father, has but one friend, Ransford, a man of the world, who comes up there to shoot, and is greatly attracted to the child of the woods. John D'Arcley, an embittered cynic, comes there, meets Irene, falls in love with her purity and innocence, and marries her. He takes her away and has an operation performed which promises to be successful, and in their new home they are very happy at first. But many of Irene's childish ways and her innocent enjoyment of life, awaken distrust in her naturally distrustful husband. He imagines she is beginning to love Ransford, a stranger whom John has never met. Irene regains her sight suddenly, goes to look for her husband, and mistaking Ransford for him, runs into his arms. D'Arcley sees this, and imagining his worst fears have come true, goes away. At the river's edge he finds a suicide, exchanges identities with the dead man, whose body is found with D'Arcley's clothes on and supposed to be murdered. Irene mourns for her husband, while Ransford tries in vain to win her consent to marry him. Later D'Arcley meets his wife, and saves her life but she does not recognize him and falls in love with him. But Ransford. learning of this, discovers that the thumb print found on the dead man coincides with the thumb print of the man Irene is in love with. Ransford gives up the evidence, and D'Arcley is arrested for his own murder. Believing Irene is married to Ransford, D'Arcley keeps silent for her sake and he is condemned to death. Before it is too late, however, Irene recognizes D'Arcley when she accidentally puts her hands on his face as she used to before she could see, and explanations ensue which straighten out the tangle.—Moving Picture World synopsis
