Lynn Severn, the beautiful daughter of a small town minister, is
deeply troubled by the barrier which has come between her and her
former playmate, Mark Carter. Billy Gaston, a former admirer of
both, indulges in a thoughtless prank which causes Mark to be
kidnapped and taken to a secluded house in the mountains in
mistake for the sone of a wealthy family. During the night of the
kidnapping a lover of a certain girl named “Cherry,” with
whom Mark was known to be friendly, is shot. Mark is accused of
the murder, and cannot prove an alibi. Billy is afraid to tell
the truth. He alone can same Mark and affairs look black, but
through it all one feels sure that Lynn Severn's faith will
triumph, shining always like a beacon of hope amid the
surrounding darkness of uncertainty. A more lovable heroine than
this simple and natural girl would be difficult to find.
