Helen Neal will not believe in God. Arthur Bennett, studying for missionary work, is a boarder at the Neal home. He loves the girl and she loves him. But he gives her up when she refuses to believe. He gets an assignment to India. The girl realizes that her disbelief has caused her to lose him. After many months an epidemic of disease breaks out in her home town. Instead of fleeing she stays and nurses the sick. Exhausted by her constant labor she is called upon to nurse Arthur Bennett's mother. In the meantime Bennett has been through just such experiences in India. He catches the disease himself and after recovering returns home to rest. Just as the girl has nursed his mother back to health he arrives. He finds that through all the suffering she has witnessed she has returned to his faith and no further obstacles confront the two.
