Laurette Wilder (Laura Leighton) is a poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks who falls in love with Luke Constable III (Michael Hayden), the grandson of a rich farmer who has been crippled in an automobile accident. Against the wishes of his grandfather (Richard Crenna), who sees the girl as a gold-digger, young Luke and Laurette get married. The senior Mr. Constable, however, goes out of his way to make his new granddaughter-in-law feel unwelcome, which quickly causes a rift in her marriage. Following a brief breakup, Laurette encourages Luke to break away from his grandfather and relinquish his rights to the family fortune. Struggling in poverty, Luke contemplates murdering Mr. Constable, but he can't bring himself to do it. The couple divorce, reconcile, then separate again. Laurette finds Luke drunk and brandishing a gun; she goads him into shooting her - he kills her with one shot. He takes his wife's dead body into the woods and burns it. He is arrested and imprisoned.
