The plot describes how handsome man Jonathan captures the heart of the coal magnate's daughter, Dolores, thinking it will lead him to success. Unexpectedly, things take a dark turn as he risks everything and kills Dolores. Her family believes she died by suicide, and her twin sister, Ellen, also falls in love with Jonathan and marries him.
