Harry Wilder, a charming but self serving suitor, visits his widowed cousin Mrs. Baynton at the Baynton estate in Connecticut seeking her hand and wealth. He weighs her charity and clergy influence with keen vanity, while Mrs. Baynton remains devout, independent, and generous, setting the stage for a moral coming trial.
