- Aurora Floyd was the daughter of a rich banker. While a schoolgirl she contracted a romantic attachment for her father's groom, James Conyers, and eloped with him. Her married life was unhappy, as her husband was vulgar, cruel and a drunkard. Her father, when he found how affairs were going, offered Conyers a large sum of money on condition that he leave England never to return. Conyers eagerly accepted the proposition, and Aurora returned to her father's home, not even her friends being aware that Aurora had been married. Six months later a newspaper account told of the death of the worthless groom. Aurora was now free and when John Mellish, the young squire of Feldon Park, paid her attentions, she consented to become his wife, much to her father's satisfaction. Aurora entered Feldon Hall as the squire's bride just about the time that Mellish engaged a new trainer for his race horses. In this man, Aurora, to her horror, recognized Conyers, her first husband and she realized that the story of his death was only a cruel trick. Conyers boldly blackmailed her, explaining that unless she yielded to his demands for money he would have her prosecuted as a bigamist. The note containing his threat was brought to the Hall by Steve, a half-witted stable boy. He suspected something was wrong, spied upon Aurora, and while she was out of the room returned to the room through the window, picked up the note she had dropped in her agitation, and armed himself with the squire's pistol, meaning to use it to subdue Conyers. The helpless Aurora met Conyers at a place agreed upon and turned over to him all the money and jewels she could get together. She then returned toward the house to decide her future plans. Steve, who had tracked them, now confronted Conyers and demanded a share of the spoils. Conyers refused, and started to beat Steve. The boy, wild with rage, shot him down, took the satchel of jewels and money, dropped the pistol beside his victim and escaped. The shot had been heard in the house, and Mellish and Mrs. Powell, his housekeeper, started out to investigate. Their path led them toward Aurora, and she, to elude them, retraced her steps. Thus she came upon the body, and when the others arrived she was bending over the body, the pistol in her hand. Mrs. Powell, who always hated her young mistress, denounced Aurora as a murderess, and the case against her was black. Her gallant husband, however, stood loyally by her, even when the secret of her marriage was revealed to him. In court he was at her aide, fighting desperately to save the life of the woman he loved. Aurora was convicted of murder, and was about to be sentenced, when Steve, the real criminal, was dragged in and confessed. The spirit of the man he had slain haunted him, he declared, and practically drove him into the hands of the law. Aurora humble and contrite because of her terrible experiences, meekly asked her husband to forgive and forget her, but he clasped her in his arms, telling her she was the one woman he loved, and that in the happiness of their future life they would forget the sorrows that had been.
