Annie is a maid who is seduced and made pregnant by one of her boss's relatives. Her loving fiancée, Johann, stands by her but her employers turn her out onto the street. Annie relocates to a nearby village for the birth where she reluctantly gives her baby up for adoption. Many years later she returns and, with Johann's help, kidnaps the child. The two are caught, arrested and imprisoned. After serving their sentence, Johann sets the manor house afire without realising that Annie's child is inside. When Annie tries a rescue, she perishes in the flames.
