Audrey, the only survivor of an Indian raid, is found by Marmaduke Haward, a young Englishman, who adopts her and returns to England with her as his ward. He entrusts her to the care of Gideon Darden, a minister. A short time later Haward returns to England upon receipt of news that he has been left a title and great fortune. Years have passed and Audrey, a carefree child of the woods, who has grown to womanhood, unknowingly attracts the admiration of Jean Hugon, a trapper. Hugon attempts to woo Audrey, who laughingly shuns him. Innocent of her physical charms, as she roams the woods, she lures Hugon who attempts to enforce his affections upon her. She becomes afraid of him and retreats. Haward returns from England with the title of Lord and Darden, who has neglected Audrey, gives her suitable clothing. Haward’s interest in Audrey grows until Lady Evelyn, his sweetheart, discards him. Audrey attends a social function in company with Lord Haward, and Lady Evelyn’s brother insults her. He fights a duel with Lord Haward in which the latter is wounded. Next Sunday the minister denounces Audrey and she is dispossessed and driven away from home.
