Walter Colman, son of a farmer who has never lost the heart of his youth, grows restless with country life and goes to London to make his name as a writer. Flattery, hack work and the round of the world teach him hard lessons about ambition and vanity, while at home the people he left, and a ghostly fright in the old house, await his return.
