Scared by the war, Oliver Bashforth (Richard Barthelmess) moves into a lonely cottage in search of solitude. He meets Laura Pennington (May McAvoy), a plain, lonely, and unattractive woman, and marries her, primarily to escape from his energetic sister, Ethel (Florence Short). In their unhappy marriage they allow their ugliness to suppress romance, but their mutual admiration grows and becomes love, manifested by recognition of inner beauty and faith that their children will possess the physical perfection denied them.
