In the New England village of Newville, Henry Burr loves Madeline Brand, whose good name has been ruined by a scandal with a man who deserted her. When she flees to Boston, Henry follows, and learns of a Dr. Heidenhoff who claims he can remove a memory from the brain as a surgeon removes a tumour. Bellamy uses the idea to ask whether the past can be undone.
