Summary Daniel MacNeill seeks to avenge his childhood humiliation by the dissolute Lord Raa by forcing his daughter Mary to marry him with the stipulation that Raa would lose his claim to MacNeill's recently acquired fortune if he did not remain faithful. On her honeymoon in Egypt, Mary lives in name only with Lord Raa, who introduces his former mistress Alma Lier as Lady Raa.

When her father insists that she return to Lord Raa in India, Mary announces that the child's father is Conrad, divorces Raa and is disinherited. After learning that Conrad has been lost and her money is gone, Mary returns to London. In order to support her child, she turns to prostitution, and the first man she approaches turns out to be Conrad who has been searching for her. They marry and raise their child together.
