Michael Snowdon, in possession of a secret fortune, lives frugally, never revealing his wealth to anyone. He rescues his granddaughter from a life of toil, hoping to leave his wealth in her charitable hands. But the money complicates their lives, his plan fails, and this tale ends tragically for father, son, and granddaughter.
