Forced to retreat to his ancestral Connecticut home, Barrett finds inspiration in his Polish immigrant neighbor's beautiful daughter, Manya (Sten). Away from the eyes of the world, Barrett and Manya soon fall into a passionate but hopeless affair. But when their love is discovered by her father, Manya is forced into marrying another man.
