Marta marries John Lane, angering former suitor Dr. Lorenz. One year later, after John and Marta's baby dies, Dr. Lorenz gives Marta drugs to which she becomes addicted. Marion, a friend who loves John, conspires with Lorenz to keep Marta addicted. Feeling neglected by John and dependent upon Lorenz to supply her with drugs, Marta leaves her husband for the doctor. When they stop in a mountain cabin to escape a storm, Lorenz tries to take advantage of her, but lightning strikes and both are buried in the ruins. Lorenz dies but Marta is saved by John and they are reconciled. -AFI
