Louisiana sugar heiress Lenore was pushed into a swamp by husband Trent, losing her child and left "paralyzed," then imprisoned for six years. She secretly stops her injections, recovers, and exposes Trent's affair with nurse Patsy and their plot to pass off an illegitimate daughter as heiress, uncovering mastermind Earl. At the launch she reveals everything; the villains are jailed, Patsy dies shielding her and entrusts her daughter, and Lenore adopts the child, accepts lawyer Quint, and restarts her life.
