The films subject matter deals with mysticism and reincarnation. Based upon a summary in a film publication, Nora OHallahan (Minter) comes to America only to find her mother dead. The Irish girl takes a position as the nurse for the Heaths child. Alice Heath (Minter) is killed and, after almost losing himself through his grief, the artist husband Roger (Holt) receives inspiration through Nora, who has grown marvelously like the dead wife through her love for the child. Noras belief in the return of spirits is responsible for saving the childs life, while the artist feels that Alice has returned to him in the form of Nora, and he makes her his wife.
