The story takes place in Scotland, where plain Maggie Wylie's family, fearing she may become a spinster, finances young John Shand's studies in return for his agreement to marry her in five years.

Will he succumb to the wiles of young aristocratic beauty Sybil, or learn to appreciate Maggie's true worth?
