Maud Brian, of a fallen county family, will do anything for her invalid younger brother Bertie, even marry Jake Bolton, the blunt, self-made trainer of racehorses whom her class looks down on, in exchange for the operation and care Bertie needs. The marriage tests her pride and his patience, while family, a former suitor and a kindly doctor pull them in different directions.
